I have an ongoing battle with fungus gnats, although I'm winning that battle now & only see a stray gnat now & again. I use Gnatrol periodically.
My soil is Master Gardener Bumper Crop Organic Gardener's Gold Potting Soil, to which I added time-release Osmocote 15-15-15 and finely-ground eggshell.

Ants don't cause harm themselves, but usually if you see them they are bringing aphids.
