They breed mainly in the top inch or two of the soil, so feed from the bottom of the pot if u can. This will get water to ur roots and help get rid of those pricks.
The fungus gnats feed on ur roots, so they do damage if their numbers r large enough - and they breed very quick, so best to move them on.
..Plus ur right, they are Icky, Lol.

I used a drench called scarid10 and surface sprayed the crap out of my room and pots, it stunk like hell but the fumes didn't do any damage now all i find are the adult sciarid flies dead on the floor and none active. Do you reckon this will last ?

Sounds like u succesfully broke the lifecycle, so unless u re-introduce them 2ur grow room u shouldn't see them again.

Normal growth will not return until ur roots have recovered, and this can vary on the size of the root structure, n age of the plant. If u have a big plant n most of ur roots r gone then u don't have enough roots left to sustain the plant n it will slowly die.. Let's hope that's not the case.
