Apple cider vinegar in a bowl with a drop of dish soap will be a lot more effective.
Isn't this more for fruit flies? I tried something similar for fungal nats and was unsuccessful. What worked for me was yellow sticky pads and letting plant soil dry out almost completely between waterings.
This is the best plan. They are prolific breeders so traps are useless if you don't also eliminate the favorable breeding environment.
Gnats fuck.
