Pyrethrum made of Chrysanthemum Flowers. It kills on contact from the larvae to adults.
Pyrethrum by itself could get the job done, but most likely a few pests would get away and burrow into the soil to reproduce and start your problem all over. It only takes one female Thrips to survive and she can reproduce on her own w/o a male, aint that some shit! What an evil bitch. With thrips, gnats, and aphids the soil or medium needs to be treated also, Pyrethrum in large amounts will kill plants, so it is best to only use it where neccesary and apply lightly. On smaller plants a rinse may be needed the folowing day if the leaves are getting wrinkled badly.
Mosquito Dunks (aka Bacillus Thuringiensis). Dunks are intended for killing mosquito larvae before it matures. The larvae think the Bacillus Thuringiensis is food, but once they digest it it kills them. Not only does this work on Mosquito larvae, but Thrips larvae, Aphids, Gnats, and much more!!!
Mosquito dunks can be used every watering, and are completely safe for plants so going overboard on dosage is not a big deal at all.

they are tiny flies that live in the soil but they can fly they have black/grey bodies and i see them crawling on the soil as if they live in it!! im not an expert to know for sure if they are gnats but from what i read they fit the description in comparison to all other insects i have read about but still wouldnt know exactly!! il try and take a picture of one of those bastards when i get home!! is there any special characteristics i should look for to see if they are gnats?? are there other type of flies that live in the same way but are not gnats?? also if you check my log i give a more detailed description of how it happened if it would help understanding thanks for the help sir!!
