I successfully got rid of my fungus gnats! Here's a picture of my sun-starved mint plant that I need to rotate like a kebab to keep it somewhat upright (sh.itjust.works)

I have to remember that. I tried some nematodes that were supposed to eat the larvae, but it did not seem to work, even after a few weeks. The neem oil was mostly just for (against) plant lice, which it turned out to be doing jack shit to. But hey, the flies are gone, and the lice were contained by getting rid of the one plant that had the lice.
