Fungus gnat infestation

Question

#fungusgnats I seem to have acquired a pretty healthy fungus gnat population across my house plants. I have inserted sticky traps in the pots and treated soil with neem oil. Any other suggestions while I wait/hope for them to die off? Good news is I’ve been on vacation for two weeks and came back to lots of new growth and healthy looking plants - just want to keep it that way.

maybe fans blowing on them? depends how many different places you have plants though. i use fans on my garden seedlings to prevent them. some swear by diatomaceous earth but then you have to bottom water everything and it’s very annoying.

@SeaingGreen I give my plants a spa treatment with this recipe found in this video link I will share here. It absolutely works leaving your plants, your home and yourself smelling charming as a fresh clean spa. The BEST part is it works if you follow the instructions in the above pics and watch the video. Here is the link: https://youtu.be/ej-NJjEJJ6U?si=Bhk0xO0y6VN8fTaN , I hope you like it and get rid of the pesky pests, after your done put the sticky traps as I do and you will see that it works because those will get rid of any left flying about.

I swear by Arber’s bio-insecticide, I had an infestation from a plant off Etsy for many months, did 3 drenches and they’re essentially gone
