How's it going everybody? Fungus Gnats, help

[cal45]

How's it going growers? I have a gnat problem and would really be grateful for all the help I can get. First time grower.
I read about the neem oils and I tried them with no luck at all. Thanks

Just a little info of my grow, 4x8 grow tent, 4x4 grow tent, 900w mars hydro 2 for my lights, fox farm trio pack for nutes, cal-mag, molasses and some lime
for soil I use pro mix soil and perlite with fabric pots.

I also read about diatomaceous earth and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on that as well? Thanks

Lower your humidity, make sure runoff is good, get nematoads and hang fly traps.

Nope just thrips. @carcass gets rid of those with mosquito dunks I believe. Tagged him in to check.

Thanks,Reave !
I've been using the Mosqiuto dunks for about 8 months now,and the only times I've seen soil gnats is when starting a grow with new soil- I use Black Magic soil,and it comes with gnats...
After about two waterings with the dunk treated water,the gnats die off,and stay gone till
the next grow .
I've recently started treating the soil before I plant in it,so I haven't seen a soil gnat for quite some time,an least not in the growspace...
Dunks,Mosquito Bits,and Gnatrol all use BTI to kill the gnat larva-it's a bacteria that's non-toxic to anything but gnat larva (and mosquito larva )
I've got a 5 gallon bucket that I use for my plant water,and I just toss in about half a dunk every month or so-keeps the water populated with the BTI,so every time I water my plants, I'm also treating the soil for gnats,in case they try to stage a comeback...

Best thing i know of is sticky mouse traps sticky side down on top of soil.When they emerge they stick and never get to fly away.
