Fly traps will also work. Also the gnats are attracted to the color yellow so try to get a trap that is yellow in color. To make your own traps take yellow paper and put vasoline on them or better yet cayro syrup or corn syrup (something thick ) and just lay the traps over the edge of the pot. (make sure not to touch the plant with them lol) Also leave them there for a while to catch all the new ones that hatch.

To also take extra action against them take an old spray bottle and like 2 table spoons of dish liquid in it and fill the bottle with water mix well and spray the plant. This may take a couple of times of doing. It will not hurt your plant because the water dilutes it enough.

Also I heard they don't like warm water so make the water luke warm and it will be better.

One more thing if you notice any fungus in the soil use cinnimon sprinkle over the soil and it will be all good.

Hope this helps.

bravo on the yellow paper with vasoline... i will test this
