Black flies

dark-winged fungus gnats detected. I immediately treated her with cinnamon water and covered the earth with sand so that they no longer nest. Is this enough to kill them or does she need more treatment?

Put diatomaceous earth on top of your soil as well. It'll kill the larvae and any flies that get through the cover to go down and lay eggs. - It's fairly cheap, and won't harm your plants, as it's a silica based rock grinded to powder.

well Fungus gnats are hard to fight,,, you must fight them in every stage,,,,,,,, Eggs and larvae in soil , :::: with predators the flies with sticky traps( yellowstickers etc. and all the remedies you already did They are coming in " waves" just one fly lays eggs in the soil and week later you have hundreds I treat every pot with Predators ( every growingpot in the house,,,,,,,with any kind of plant in it,,,,,,,) and i always lay some yellostickers onto the surface of the soil,,, so the little ones, that crawling out of the soil get trapped but the worst ones are the larvaes, those foggers eat your roots
