Yeah mossie bits are meant to work well and be kinda cheap, or you can get B.Ti - its organic and works on every bug that eats your plant. But its harder to get and more expensive. Or neem oil basically works on everything too. But Gnats can be a sign your watering too often too as they like it wetter, the wetter the better. So after you treat your plants let them dry out more and more often ok.

Fungus gnats!! ACH!!! But VERY easy to get rid of... buy yourself some Mosquito Bits ... you can get them in any garden center or from Amazon... you soak the granules in water for 30 minutes, strain (I usually put the granules in a sieve and lower it into the water... makes getting them out a lot easier) and then water your plants as normal. I only had to use it once and the gnats were gone gone gone - but if you have a really bad infestation, you'll want to do as directed which is to use it once a week for 3 weeks... Believe me... IT WORKS!
