I have tried the cinnamon trick, learnd from an earlier post in this
newsgroup, and I can firmly attest it has no impact on my gnats whatsoever.
They happily crawl all over even a thick layer of cinnamon, and their
population seems to be as healthy and large as ever.

Maybe yor gnats are a different species.

Sprinkle some cinnamon over the top of the soil. They'll disappear within
seconds and won't come back. Try it, it works!

I have an outbreak of fungus gnats in my indoor plants. Some of these
plants are tomato, peppers, etc to be transplanted into the outdoor
garden. Other plants are houseplants. The cactus plants are not
infected, I think because these are watered once a month and the soil
is dry most of the time. What kinds of control (or better yet
elimination) are available that are safe and practical for indoor use
and for edible plants? I do not have any pets nor children. TIA
