Gnats in Enclosure

How do you get rid of gnats in the enclosure. I hate seeing my baby in there with all these gnats. For some reason they are drawn to her enclosure, no poop no rotting food either.

sticky bug pads on the ceiling, ive heard they’re attracted to applecider vinegar and it kills them too, maybe a little shot glass of that?

Getting rid of gnats and fruit flies

Fill a cup three-fourths of the way with apple cider vinegar, add several drops of dish soap and stir it enough to form bubbles on the top, then cover the cup with plastic wrap held in place with a rubber band. Poke small holes in the plastic wrap, and put the trap in the terrarium.

It's the lights,
Try setting up a light outside the enclosure with the vinager or some fruit maybe?
I also read the life cycle is 7 to 14 days, maybe, try moving the enclosure for couple weeks, see if that helps,
