put at least a 1 cm of sand (corse grit sand) is best, as a mulch then the gnats cant lay their eggs.

Does it look like this? fungus gnats


You need some mosquito dunks from Home Depot or something with BT bacteria in it to kill the larvae. Gnatrol. and pyrethum spray for the adults.

Are you using MG Organic soil? It's filthy with gnats.

....you also may want to try DE(diatomacious earth) mixed in the top of your soil and on top as well. This will take care of the larvie and any egg layers. DE is completely natural(fossilized shells) and totally lethal to anything softbodied that comes in contact with it<----pest wise.
....also: the yellow sticky traps work good for the fliers

good luck!

yes definelty cut the watering by half, at least

I have been having the same problem its taken me a week and half to get rid of the critters. I used a a organic solution designed to target the larvea i used it twice. Its called vitalink Gnat off. I used it once and let the soil dry out and used the old skool clapping hand action to kill as many with my bear hands and layed lots of fly traps above and at the base of the plants. I repeated the process and seem to have everything under control now. Also make sure nothing can get in to the grow space from the outside eg curtain nets near windows etc.
