Question
What is the best way to get rid of gnats? I have tried the vinegar trick, the water trick, the potato trick and none seems to work. I even tried a few different sprays. Please help.

You don't say what type of gnats are bothering you. I will assume you are referring to gnats in your potted plants. The best way to get rid of them is to apply beneficial nematodes to your containers (Fungus Gnat Destroyers). The nematodes will feed on the hatched maggots and pupae in the soil thus breaking the cycle. You can attach yellow sticky traps (Gnat Stix) to trap the adults at the same time. The gnats are attracted to soils rich in organic matter (peat moss, manure, compost) and kept too wet.
