A comment I read spoke of getting carnivorous plants to help, and now I like having gnats around to feed them! I have three sundews and they capture a lot of gnats.

I was considering sundews and was actually just checking for some at my local nursery but only saw venus fly traps and pitcher plants. I also don’t know if I’d be able to keep a sundew alive, how have you found the care for them? I’d say I’m still intermediate with skill level, I only started keeping more than 1 plant in April (up to ~50ish now but most were cuttings from friends so they’re all still fairly small)

I think they’re easy! I only use rainwater or distilled, I leave about 1/2 an inch of water in the tray, I keep them under a grow light, and that’s it so far. They propogate easy too. I’d recommend watching some YouTube videos on their care, and order one online if it’s not too cold yet. The three I have are my favorites of the collection
