What did it finally was a combination of sand in the pots, the bare minimum of watering, glue traps everywhere and some Neem tree oil directly in the water/soil. Also, quarantining plants with a lot of flies.
I ordered neem cake fertiliser online. Dissolved the pellets in water to water the plants with. A fortnight and a few watering cycles later, every single gnat was gone. No sticky yellow, no sand.
The fuckers have been driving me insane for months, I have won the battle and the war. Get stuffed, gnats!

Been dealing with them a lot this year. Thanks for the tips!
Main tip, have patience. It takes weeks to get rid of them. Maybe you need to sacrifice a plant. But it is doable.
