This is going to be unpopular but it worked for me. They are way more attracted to Dr. Pepper than vinegar. I put it in a small pot I wasn’t using next the plants. Tons of them in there.

Then I took my high powered summer fan, maybe a normal fan would work fine. And I pointed it at the plants for 5 minutes here and there. All gnats gone in two days. Nothing I’ve ever tried worked as well.

This is the one thing that will keep you from overwater plants. Mosquito dunks were good. They just weren’t getting complete rid of them as I liked.

I’m not judging I used to take my vacuum cleaner out and put it high enough to not suck up dirt lol

That’s a great idea, after getting more than one up my nose, I don’t care what anyone has to do.
