I use a multi-pronged approach.
I use EWC to keep hypoapsis miles in my pots. I cover the soil with plastic (for moisture retention and gnat discouragement). I kill the gnats manually when I see them. And if they get out of hand, I use BTi (Mosquito Bits). Lots of us use yellow sticky traps as well.
I have found it impossible to be rid of all fungus gnats. But I can keep it down to a few fliers with this method (and having some around keeps my hypoapsis miles going).
I have the microbe lift which is BTI. Wondering if it does any good in the reservoir though or if it would need to be top watered in. I’d rather not top water anything and let the surface totally dry out.
