I'm in fl and gnats are just a part of life inside and out no matter what.
since i started indoors Ive had em to one degree or another.
those donut dunks really didn't do much.
when i started inside I wasn't sealed.
when i went sealed w/Co2 I still had em but they're a low level prob since I went sealed.
I don't do anything to combat em and they haven't multiplied like they did in the unsealed gro's.
here's and easy way to combat gnat naturally.
they can't resist and love a nice sweet red port wine or rice wine vinegar.
get something like an empty anything bottle with a small opening,
a 1/2" of wine in it and leave these in & around the pots.
you'll start seeing the corpses the next day.
i started by putting the wine in saucer and seeing the bodies, you'll trap-n-kill lots more with the bottle tough
another way Is to get some ripe fruit like a piece of banana, or a plum thats starting oozing juice is a good 1.
you don't need a big piece, a 1" slice of nanar will do.
put the bait on a plate or piece of paper, and keep handy bug spray like the kitchen safe flying insect stuff in the blue bottle
after a hour or two the gnats will be all over the fruit,
while concentrated in 1 spot blast em with the spray.
you can do this maybe a couple times with the same piece, after that they smell the poison and won't land on the bait.
I replaced the paper and bait every time,
depending how many times you do this you can knock down a few hundred gnats a day.
but gnats are pretty spooky and fly off when you get close so go stealthy on their little butts!
