Nope seen them in the stores... but doesn't any thin film that a larvae can't poke it's breathing snout through might work... like a veg oil.. I'm sure someone will have an issue with veg oil ffs lol
Does your water move? Cause a film may not work

bacillus thuringiensis kills fungus gnat larvae. Gnatrol is about $8.50 for a little package on Amazon or go to the local hardware store and get mosquito dunks. Same stuff.

Good call.
The mosquito dunks (BTI) are a good inexpensive option in the meantime.

If you're dealing with broad mites or russet mites any pest indoors look into a product called Venerate it is made by the same company that makes grandevo. It is a knock down product. Follow up with either grandevo or pfr 97 after you use the venerate. No more bugs ever. Here is a picture of what pfr97 dI'd to a spider

For control/ eradication of fungus gnats I put approx 3 inches of perlite on top of my soil. I do this with all my plants now since I found out about it. The gnats took 2 maybe 3 days to be gone and never came back.

You are basically smothering their food source. A thick layer of sand or non-clumping kitty litter also works.
Perlite is nice for a topcoat because it floats. Sand & clay tend to blend in if you water from the top.
