My only success came from using multiple methods at a time.  And if I stop, they usually come back in force :P

Yellow sticky traps, BT Israeliensis(probably not good on a shroom grow haha).  This keeps the population from exploding and doing damage in my weed room.

But what I always did when it was really bad, was use a small (1.5 gallon I think) shop vac, filter on of course.  I would bang the pots around and when the cloud poured out the top, you suck em up!  It's easy and that's the best way to clear absolutely a shitload of fungus gnats out of a room in no time flat.

Go far from your house and toss those fuckers out in the cold.

I had this problem too, until I stopped leaving fresh fruit out. Mainly Banana's.

Also tossed my last cakes I did. They slowly dropped off.

I am happy to report that the fungus gnat population in my two monotubs has been reduced by an estimated 95% since I started misting with Gnatrol water dispersible granule. It took about a week to see results. My two infested tubs are showing only one or two active adults each time I mist. That is very acceptable to me.

Before my gnatrol arrived, the yellow sticky pads did help and I plan on using them in every tub until my gnat problem is completely resolved. They really seem to have helped prevent newly arriving adults from laying eggs in my non-infested third tub. I get about one gnat on my yellow paper every other day. My imperfect lids are slowly letting the gnats into my new tub but the yellow pads are stopping them from exploring far.

As for the apple vinegar, red wine, and lemon dish soap traps. They pretty much did nothing at all regardless of where I placed them. They do work well for kitchen fruit flies, however. I had those last summer.


Cheers!

If you omit the red wine and add some sugar it would work better. I am positive it was gnats I had, and the bottle traps worked very well, for me anyways. At least the problem is under control now.:thumbup:
