I have tried the vinegar and soap in a dish and it did collect some of the pests,
bu t have not had complete control. Thanks for any help on this problem!

If these are in your kitchen, you might be dealing with drain flies. They hatch out every 1-3 weeks and become a pest in your home. You can clean your drain well with boiling water and bleach. Repeat each week until they are gone.
These may be fungus gnats. They lay eggs in moist soil. The trick is to let the top layer of soil dry out...nowhere to lay eggs anymore!
Your plants might have a fungus that is attracting the gnats. Read this article and see if you think there is anything there that you haven't tried. Wish you the best

Perhaps the soil in the plants are too moist. Some folks have this problem, very often, but I have never had this. I water only 1/2 of the saucer on the bottom of the pot, and no problems. Only water according to your reg. schedule. J.
