    Systematic pellets work great, pop them in ur soil mix, water and boom, you can also use gnat sticky traps for the adults.

    there are some pellets / powders you can use that will get rid of them, but you can also get a carnivorous plant like a butterwort

    Planting in PON, Neem Oil & diatomaceous earth. Searching for diatomaceous earth for gnats will bring up several articles. I like the one at Learning with Experts. (Tried to post link but I guess it’s not allowed!) I feel that planting in PON for plants that don’t require soil and using the diatomaceous earth for ones that do are the best prevention. If I notice any on leaves I use the Neem oil spray but the soil treatment is the most important since you need to stop them from hatching.
