I now only buy the good stuff but more importantly, I only buy new soil that was made for the new season (or at least I think it's new, it gets put out after their old soil is on clearance). And lastly, it has to be stored indoors or I don't buy it...
The last season I bought the bad gnat infested stuff I found out you could buy "mosquito dunks" and break up a dunk over the top of the mix, the dunks would get eaten by the gnats and kill them, but why hassle?

Gnatrol granules are easier. Already broken down into usable BT. I sprinkle it on my seed starter, and slso in my 2 week old transplants , no fungus gnat larvae ever since. Its on Amazon, and eBay too.
