This is a bit of a weird/random method, but I happened to find a couple spiders in my house and put them by my plants that had the fungus gnats. I think they’re eating the gnats because I haven’t seen any since I moved them there lol

We sadly dont have many spiders around due to where we live 😭 But if I see one I'll definitely give it a shot!

Use neem oil and diatomaceous earth ! They work well for my gnats ! Gosh they are annoying

About 2-3 big scoops per plant if your using diatomaceous earth
