GrowCNanswered grow question 4y ago I use yellow sticky traps to keep an eye on insect problems.  Occasionally I'll have some gnats at the beginning that came in with my soil.  I use fabric pots and have a fan at ground level blowing across the top of the pots.  Even watering daily the soil completely dries two knuckles+ (about 3-4cm+) deep between waterings which is enough to end the gnat problem.
