Using BTI to fight gnats is a desperate battle. It would be like having a rash on your cock and deciding to wash it with gasoline and then lighting a match. The rash will be gone but it’s possible you have a new problem now.

BTI, Yellow sticky strips, hanging fly strips, peppermint oil, apple cider vinegar bowls, quart jars full of red wine and soap with 1/8 holes poked in the lid. Fans to prevent them from touching down around near anything they can oviposit in.
When I was hospitalized and had the basement with 40+ monotubs go shitty I can only imagine what the house was like. We cleaned thousands of their corpses off every window ledge in the house. My basement has 12 4 foot shop lights with dual bulbs, each bulb had a hundred of the dead fuckers on top of it.
I barely see one or two now in an entire day and I won't rest until all of the little fuckers are dead and buried. I'll stop using the BTI mist now though if you think it's the problem here.
I mean it was either this or shut down everything, tub and seal all colonized jars and run a big mofo of an ozone generator.
I remember reading about you having a problem with gnats too and it's frustrating no? If I gasoline dicked these monotubs at least it looks like it's the end of the gnattery. Hopefully. One of the tubs has started pinning so who knows I might get some funky bacterial fruits before I toss them.
Been using peppermint scented Scentsy melts too since those cocksmoke gnats hate the smell. I'm living in a candy cane.

Only way I beat the gnats was to pitch every sub I had and spend two weeks on eradicating them. Nothing else worked.

Right on I think I read you did that too, thanks Pasty.
If anything survives these last tubs the only thing I'll have on the go is colonizing unicorn XL bags I'll be growing in and AFAIK they can't get through the 0.5 micron filter. I can drop the temperature to slow them down and give me that two week window to ensure they're all gone.
I've been keeping all the drains in the house sealed and splashed with peppermint oil, dumped a bunch of BTI granules in the sump pit, cleaned and added some felt soaked in peppermint oil to the evaporation tray under the fridge and the two houseplants we had got watered with BTI then cased(lol) with dematiaceous earth. Garbage can is on the back deck.
I have a 160l bag of vermiculite I sometimes see one or two around but I can't see them fucking around with it. I should probably add a scoop of DE to it to be sure.
Little fuckers. I wish they had receptors for psilocybin so they'd at least blow their damn minds when they snack on my fruits.
