The gnats are usually not large enough to trigger a VFT trap. If you’re looking for something to eat gnats, I would suggest a ping or a sundew. As far as keeping them off the VFT, I toss a part of a mosquito dunk into the tray of water it sits in. The mosquito dunks won’t hurt carnivorous plants. I use them on all my plants to keep gnats at bay.
