Black gnats in soil

So this is not really a question for this plant. But my house plants have become infested with little black gnats, that seem to be in the soil. They kinda hang around the plants and doesn't stray too far from them. Question is, what do you guys do to get rid of these suckers?

They will be fungus gnats they are attracted to decomposing organic matter/nutrients that are always damp, get some natural fly killer for the rest of the house to get rid of the majority just don't spray directly onto your plants but not in your growing space, use sticky traps and water less often, harmless just annoying. Hope this helps friend

Just ordered some diatomaceous, should be here within a few days. Will let them all dry out a bit and then replace the top soil, mixed with some of the diatomaceous, and a bit of it spread on top. Thanks for all the answers 😎

Water them less and it should help control the outbreak , diatomous works also around the pots , I use BT-i which should get rid of them long term in ten days or a bit more ... hope this helps growmie 🔥🚀

Diatomaceous earth. Let your top soil dry out and spray some on it.. Should kill any insect by absorbing flyid from their bodies.
