    I completely replace the soil and then place sticky traps to catch the leftover gnats.

    I use yellow sticky traps and also used electric UV traps when infestations got quite big, both together really helped control the problem and reduce the gnat population. It takes some patience and persistence but they worked in my situation. Best of luck

    All great suggestions, you can also let the soil dry out a bit in between watering, this will let the eggs die. :)

    In the long run switch to bottom watering rather than watering from the top. Fungus gnats lay their eggs in the top soil when it’s moist - no moist top = no eggs. To kill those that have already been laid do a top watering but add food grade hydrogen peroxide to the water. I measure with my heart but google will have a specific ratio. You’ll hear it bubbling/fizzing as it aerates the soil and kills the eggs
