Look, I’m not going to lie to you. Gnats aren’t a one-and-done problem. They have a life cycle of about three weeks, so after you clean and trap, you might see a phantom gnat or two for a while. That’s normal. Don’t panic. Just keep up the routine: dry soil, clean drains, sealed trash, and a fresh vinegar trap every few days.
Eventually, you’ll realize you haven’t seen one in a week. You’ll sit down with that glass of wine (the good stuff this time), and the only fly in the room will be metaphorical. And when you do see that tiny speck in the corner of your eye? You’ll smile, take a sip, and know exactly how to handle it. You’ve got this. Now go trash that old onion in the back of the pantry.
