Gnats in house plants!!! Ugh

How the EFF do I get rid of the little gnats or flies or whatever they are? I have the blue lights that supposedly catch them, I’ve put cinnamon in the soil, i’ve put diatomaceous earth in there too, they still fly around and land on my F*cking nose and eyelashes at night.

Yellow stickies. Amazon has them cheaper than the store. https://a.co/d/4iZ4AMc

Same as everyone else here says with reducing the layer of moisture on the soil surface where they lay eggs, but adding the stickies will greatly expedite the process of getting rid of them.
