Ive had luck with an inch of sand, but if you use molasses it can turn the sand into concrete preventing your roots from receiving air. Maybe it's best to rake or fluff the sand occasionally.

Sometimes they come in the soil. Other times it's because the medium is too wet. One thing you can do is add a 1-2 inch layer of perlite or grow stones on the top of your soil. It'll keep that inch or two dry and that's where the nats live

When I water in between feedings I use mosquito bits in the water it kills the gnat larva . Kill them before they grow
