Sand on top of your soil, let the soil dry up before watering to kill the “babies”, there’s a ton of threads regarding this already, take a moment to read them

Get them early before they get out of hand friend. You can also dilute dish soap and spray the plants with it. Soap hurts nothing but the bugs.

I second neem and if poss a fan blowing just above soil line so little fuckers find it hard to land

Gnatrol (BTI), yellow sticky cards, gnat nix, let them dry out between waterings and bottom feed them every other watering.

Haven't been able to find gnatrol in anything less then the 5 gal bucket or without having to wait 30 days for shipping. Just ordered some goGnat from Amazon but I've heard mixed reviews and it was kinda pricey ($30).

Yellow sticky traps and some playground sand is a good place to start.

Hi I'm ordering some from online. My plants in flowering thought so can I use it in the soil to kill the baby gnants ? I heard you cannot spray it in during flowering . Cheers

I just turn my feed sprinklers on and as soon as they start to fly around just zap them with a plant friendly fly spray like RAID, Most fly sprays are plant friendly. I do this around every 7 days and they soon disappear for good.

Even on flowering plants tho ? Won't it make the buds taste funny ? Cheers

What about neem oil sprayed into the soil? It kills the little maggots that the fungus gnants lay doesn't it ? I can't spray the plants with neem oil as they are flowering . Cheers

Shop vac will suck them up if you can get them flying like that. Great idea to turn the feed on to get them flying. You can whack the sides of the pots and get a few to fly too.
