So about a year ago maybe a little more I switched substrate from different brands of coconut husk to paper towel. I was getting an insane amount of fungus gnats in my snake room. The snakes don't mind and I don't mind but they ended up in other areas of my house. The sinks and refrigerator. I tried pro coco and reptichip just whatever was available at the time. So I don't know if it was a specific brand that brought them or what.

Anyway now that the amount of animals in my collection is growing every year and I can't keep up with the paper as much as I'd like to I am going to switch back to a coconut husk.

Does anyone have a brand that they haven't had an issue with? Or do you have this issue and have a solution? Or am I doomed to gnats?

I have put down cups with dish soap and apple cider vinegar to catch them in the soap and drown them but that only slightly helped. Too paranoid to put any kind of fly strips anywhere near the snakes.
