How do you get rid of gnats?
I got a box of crickets and in addition to the crickets it also had gnats, I think they're attracted to the potatoes they put in the box for food and water.
Long story short, I have three tanks of crested geckos that are natural vivariums and the gnats have now colonized in them and I can't get rid of them.
I tried the online suggestions like cider vinegar and fruit in a jar with the cone on top but it doesn't work. A few years ago I had a fruit fly issue and cider vinegar worked but not with the gnats.
Right now I have a sticky moth trap that I lay on top of the cages that's catching a lot but it's not catching enough to get rid of them completely.
I'm trying to avoid ripping the vivariums apart and starting over but I think that's what going to happen because I'm starting to find the gnats in other parts of my house.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, I'll give a try.
The local mom and pop pet shop by my house said they had a customer that used charcoal (the stuff you put in a fish filter) and mixed it with the soil.
Has anyone heard of that before?
