They thrive in a soil that is continuously moist. The larva feed on fungi, decaying organic material, and root hairs which will reduce plant vigor.

Fungus gnats are not normally a problem, certainly not for healthy trees with a good rootball. They are indicative of wet organic material: Let the substrate dry out longer/further.
