ive got a small gnat problem starting up on me, seen two small flying ones at base of stem yesterday one and today just earlier i saw one. this is what i did for a quick fix im hoping it'll help. i sprayed the soil with dish soap/water diluted mix to kill the larvae then added a small saucer of applecider vinegar to lure the flying ones into drowning and away from my plants stem. im going to let my plant soil dry for about 2 maybe even three days so its unsuitable for the eggs/larvae and im going to buy sand to spread over the topsoil, i heard that helps.

any pros out there, i need guidance.:?

Ive tried the vinegar before and it didn't work. I think its really meant for fruit flies instead. Yellow sticky traps will work well for the adults. Eventually you should get them under control if you use them.

i have them their annoying as hell. i put a cup of plain water in there and the adult ones just fly into it and drown.
