I have been using yellow sticky tape, but then a leaf would get caught. I picked up some gnat pellets. It works if you top water.

For fungus gnats (if that’s what they are - tiny little black flying gnats), I recommend watering with mosquito bit tea. You should treat all of the plants, because they fly from plant to plant laying lots of eggs in moist soil. I tried a few different solutions, but mosquito bits have worked the best for me.

Yes, treating the soil kills the larvae and the sticky traps get the adults (hopefully before they lay eggs).

I repotted my plants with fresh dirt and began bottom watering. No more gnats!
