I'm not a big house plant gardener',
but I believe Gnats are in house plants...
Sooooo, I"m going to move this post in to
The House Plant section...
Also, if you do a FORUM SEARCH and type in
FUNGUS GNATS or just GNATS...
I think you'll get a few posts that come up about that subject...
Just to let you know!!

I've heard that they are attracted to rotten smelling liquid. Supposedly if you leave out a tray of rotten liquid they'll be attracted to it. This didn't work at all for me. A cup of water was suprisingly effective in catching the adult gnats, but to kill the larvae I used nematodes. These were very effective and they were pretty cheap. Here's where I bought them.
