Also you should get the bright yellow sticker things you stick into the soil. Those work really well for me to catch the adult gnats and reduce their numbers fast.

Mosquito dunks can be safely used to deal with fungus gnats indoors or outdoors. It will not harm any other insect or animal, because BTI it is a very specialized bacteria that only affects fungus gnat and mosquito larvae.
I blame Pinterest.
This seller is amazons version of costa farms, so a little cheaper but reviews aren't as good.
if you get fungus gnats in the soil, don't panic. they are not damaging the plant, so you can take your time treating the plant. It usually means that the soil stays to soggy for too long. When you bring new plants home, treat them with an insecticidal soap for some weeks and keep them away from other plants if possible, When they acclimate, you can repot them in higher quality soil. Miracle gro is not the best, but if that is all you can find at the local garden center, also buy some perlite or pumice and perhaps some orchid bark and make a mix of perhaps 2/3 soil with 1/3 perlite or pumice and add some bark in there and repot the plant. This way you will get rid of the fungus gnats in the soil and you will now have soil that is fluffier and more aerated and dries faster, so you don't create those conditions for the gnats to come back. You basically want to have multiple particle sizes in your mix. Yellow traps can be put in the pot, you can lay them down horizontally, the gnats will stick to them and die.
