UGH!!!! Those nasty gnats! I too, share in the pain. I live in a small apt. and have over 40 large plants (maybe its me who needs the help and not my plants lol) I have read all of your comments and couldnt help but laugh at the things we have done to "catch our critters" I thought I was the only one with weird ways of catching them... Every morning I leave my almost empty yogurt container on my night stand (they like it)I too, fill the sink with water every night and every morning before work and I also have the friendly spider who leaves his web in my window, catches them everytime! I did buy some stuff, "Houseplant insect killer" (thats the name of it)Its made by "Safer". It works. They say to spray it every 7-10 days, they mean it. I thought after the second spray I was cured. WRONG, Im infested AGAIN! I too was a Miracle Gro user. And the person who said "dont kill them on your face" heed their warning. I made that mistake too! Well Im off to the plant store for more spray. If I come with anything better, I will for sure share with you all! Thanks for letting me know Im not alone in this battle!

I never knew the soil was like that until i started reading your messages from other people,withb the same problem.I am going to try the bleach method and see if that works. because some of my plants are so long it is going to be to hard to repot them. please help me if someone knows something better. Thank You..
