i dont think you can eliminate them entirely if you have many plants. I hate those frigging runaway scaredy cat dumb ass annoying suckers.
sticky strips help and alos potatoe slices on top of growing medium, larva drawn to them-5 days and remove.

I had a problem in veg bought a inline fan and a new hood. That dropped the humidity from 70+ to 40. Nearing the end of flowering and those bastards have not shown face in months. So you probably have a humidity problem. I also bought nemotodes from my local grow store. Just add the sponge of nemotodes and water and they take care of little things in the soil. like larvae

I had a bad infestation in an E & F grow. Used goGnats liquid (Cedar Oil) and pyrethrin spray. Not a sign of the little bastages anywhere......

I used diatomaceous earth, it is fossilized algae that kills all crawling insects by sticking to them and cutting them up. Sprinkle it on top of your soil (wear face protection, do not inhale) and within 30 minutes the dust will settle. Whenever the fuckers try to land in your soil they will die, if the larva try to come out of the dirt, they will die. It is completely organic and totally worked for me.

best fix for fungus gnats, get some sticky paper to catch the adults.. then cover your soil with sandbox sand.. like 1/2-1" will do just fine.. the sand is so fine they can't get into the soil to lay their eggs.. within a few days the gnats will be dead and no offspring because they cant get into the soil through the sand to lay eggs.. i grow my garden indoors in the spring so i have good plants for the summer. tomatoes, brocolli, watermelon, cucumbers, etc. had some issues last year and put sand down on the soil.. in a few days they were gone and no more came in their place.
hope this helps..
