Just coming off a nasty fungus gnat infestation. I bought this product, and 4 days later I am gnat free!

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FRUT3FA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It is a super concentrated BTI liquid. BTI is a bacteria that produces a toxin that destroys certain insect larvae (popular for mosquito control) but is perfectly safe for mammals, fish, plants, etc.. This product is a liquid with the appearance and consistency of a chocolate shake, and 5ml treats 2,000 gallons! Crazy strong, lovin' it...

I will be using a fungus to do the same job.
I would advise you inspect the containers too for larvae.
The fungus I use kills 100% of adults but not larvae and pupae (18 &41% respectively).
Those are the staged that does the harm.

Eco Bb, a Biological Insecticide, infects and kills whitefly, spider mite and various other agricultural insect pests on tomatoes, brinjals, beans and cucumber. It attacks and parasitizes insects resulting in mortality of the insect within 3-5 days.

Eco Bb is a beneficial fungus, Beauveria bassiana, that is non-toxic, attaches itself to the insect, then penetrates the exoskeleton and attacks the insects from the inside.

Im a big fan of dr earth products. I use their soil as a base and mix in more compost/worm castings, peat, and perlite. My local home depot put their all purpose fertilizer on sell so I picked up a few bags. Its called "life" and it even has microbes in it. I don't really even measure it, I just throw in a few handfuls per cubic foot. And like @Chunky Stool I have just about every down to earth amendment. Most of that gets thrown in the mix too. Then I let it sit for at least a month. longer is better.

That stuff works! Same thing that's in mosquito bits, but more concentrated.

My kid used to order stuff from those Chinese web stores.
Sometimes it was normal.
Sometimes it had an ice pinch but the
Mouthpiece is clearly too small to accept a powerful American ice cube.
