    I had an infestation last spring. I tried all the remedies. Mosquito bits tea did the trick. Now I give it about 1x a month as a preventative and keep them pretty well defeated.

    What helped for me was yellow sticky things, mosquito bits tea, and then broke down and used diatomaceous earth sprinkled on top of soil, that really did it. Took a few weeks, be patient and stick with it there's no quick fix.

    Zevo traps work really well for the ones flying around and bonide systemic granules in the soil. They are so annoying!

    I add two drops of this to each gallon when watering plants. After a few weeks all of my fungus gnats were gone and now I just use it every so often as a preventative. One bottle most likely lasts forever.

    Both of these work to kill the larvae in the soil. They both contain beneficial bacteria that kills the larvae which ends the life cycle. Use one with every watering or at least a few times a month. They kill more than fungus gnats. Change the conditions that attract and encourage growth of the gnats. This means letting the soil dry out more between waterings so the top soil is not continually wet and supporting the eggs. Verify the pot and soil is not sitting in water. Keep water out of the drainage tray/saucer. This helps prevent root rot. The larva likes eating the decay in the soil. Ensure there is good air circulation to help the plant and soil dry out. Avoid placing rocks, ceramics and moss on top of the soil. Even diatomaceous earth acts like sand and can slow the soil from drying out which creates an environment favorable to gnats and other pests. Give plants good lighting and proper nutrients. Healthy plants use up more water and dries out the soil faster. 🪴🍀
