actually dealing with em myself.
i assume you are growing in soil or soiless mix?\
you are on the right track with sticky traps
get some diatomaceous earth.

add an inch layer on top of your soil,this will stop the larvae from getting out and the adults getting back in to lay more larvae.
Also look at soil drenches with pyrol or neem oil...those u would have to google,i havent had experience enough to advise you

PS:HAppy New Year!!!!!

use it in your water... bacteria kills the gnats doesnt harm the plants or you.

but yeah,first prize JM

 

[JM]

have someone from another country send you some maybe?

 

[MrMcbud]

you make a decent point...

a layer of play sand on top of the soil works for me it looks like a gnat graveyard when they are thick

also a funnel in a jar taped up so they can only enter down through the funnel and a bit of applesider vinegar in the jar change it out every few days

Gnat Off contains the shit needed to control them little buggers....
ACTIVE INGREDIENT
Bacillus Thuringiensis subspecies
Israeliensis, Dipteran active toxin(s

Have you been using the Gnat Off per the instructions?
And like sniper said, get some sand and use it now....once you have sand on there use some more Gnat Off.
With D.E. I mix it with the sand before adding to the top of my pots, there is no way I would be putting an inch layer of D.E in a pot as you really don't need that much of it.
You can also mix some D.E in with your medium before planting but you will still be wanting to put a layer of sand on the top.

For Fungus Gnats prevention is way easier than the cure, since you know Gnats are in your area use sand and sticky traps ALL the time and they shouldn't bother you again in future grows.
