The War Has Begun

So I was looking at my seedlings and a fungus gnat landed on my hand. I killed it and looked for others and found 1 more under a cup. I want to rage a full scale genocide against the invaders. These are inside plants. How do you kill them?
 
genocide?
i understand the no-pest strips work great for whiteflys and gnats.

put your seed flats in a sealed bag or container with one of these.

these are supposed to kill the larvae by just watering with a donut soaked in the water first
lots put them in the watering can

also the sticky yellow cards can get adults

personally i "enjoy" martyring all i find
 
Thanks I will probably wait until I see more of them around and then either use the mosquito dunks or use sticky tape. Havent seen any today.... maybe i killed the only two. Or not....
 
I found a fly this morning but it was dead on a hab leaf? Maybe the habs can protect themselves? Havent seen anymore than one at a time and I think its just cuz I leave my door open during the day. But its not the first time I found them dead on the plants its ALWAYS they are dead when I find them.
