7-Day Fungus Gnat Starter Plan

Direct answer

The 7-day plan: manage moisture first by letting the mix dry as far as each plant tolerates, set yellow sticky traps at soil level to catch adults, and add a Bti product labeled for fungus gnats if needed. Heavier infestations need monitoring beyond day 7, because immature stages already in the soil keep developing.

Check off each task as you go; your progress stays on this device. Keep monitoring after adult numbers fall, and continue moisture management and any labeled treatment long enough to account for remaining immature stages — that's the step people skip, and a common reason gnats seem to come back.
