Gnatrol, and sticky traps. I just ordered a small amount of it on ebay. Otherwise it is only available in bulk

I have been spraying Neem oil for a few days now also.

Spray the top of the soil as well with a good soaking. Or mix some neem meal into the top of the soil but not much as it's pretty high in nitrogen.

I've always knocked fungus gnats out just by spraying the top of the soil with neem. The sticky traps work for the adults but there will still be eggs and larvae in your soil.

Some even go as far as to do a soil drench with neem but there is debate on whether that will effect the taste of the cannabis.

You might have success with yellow duct tape to make some sticky traps for them.

Also consider using trays under your plants and bottom watering for a bit. Gnats prefer to frolic in moist top soil, so disappoint them.

I dust the surface of my soil with diatomaceous earth. Stating to avoid neem here.

Forgot to add the Dust Buster hand vac for indoors. Works great.
