Gnats in enclosure all of a sudden

[HLG]

When I set up our redfoots enclosure I baked her before putting it in and it has been great for months. All of a sudden I have seen a few flying around in her enclosure. It is a closed enclosure as well. Not sure how this happened and if or what I should do anything? I haven’t put any plants in it either. She does have a couple logs in there that I didn’t bake. Can that be it? Any advice please. Thank you

If you get 1 or 2 they die off pretty quickly. If you get a infestation of them the under bark may be to wet. We get a few every now and again but they die off quickly.

I’ve only seen about 3 or 4. Should I just let it dry out a bit?

They will die off.

Maybe it worth doing a "turn over" (mix lower wet substrate with top more dry layer). I do that once in a month or two.
