TL;dr - Water your plants with a "tea" made from Mosquito Bits and consider replacing window screens with a denser screen mesh gage. Between buying some new plants and getting fruit from a farmers market a few years back, my home went from being "annoying gnat free" to fully infested (to the point where I was killing 20-40 of them per day by smashing them on the windows -- gross!). I went through a few home remedies like the apple cider/red wine/dish soap route and yes, while they killed the adult gnat/flies that were flying around, it wasn't killing their larvae. So for a few years I kept killing the adults but the little buggers kept coming back. Eventually I tried something called Mosquito Bits and used that each and every time I watered my plants. It took a while, but it definitely made a more sizeable reduction of the little buggers flying around. During the winter months there were zero adults that could be seen! But during the summer months ... they came back. I was really confused by this seasonality of the annoying gnats! Until one day ... when I saw a little bugger scoot its way through the mesh netting of a window screen and get its self positioned between the screen and the glass window pane! Uggh. Those little buggers are so little they can enter your home on warm days/nights when you have your windows opened! I'm at the point now that I want to try replacing my window screen with a more dense window screen mesh weave, but haven't quite gone down that route yet. The benefits would be less likelihood of the annoying gnats, pollen, and dust from entering my home, but the view out the windows will be a bit more occluded. Might be a small price to pay, though.
