Kinda scary that the bugs "die instantly" after bombing the room. What does that mean for you and your family...ick! I wash my plants down really good before bringing them into the house. If the soil is infected, I would discard and repot immediately. Good luck.
We have those irritating bugs in our house, too. Could you be specific about what you used to kill them--what type of bug bomb?
Thanks for any help.
Re-pot your plant-immediately! Use a new bag of potting soil.

Every spring/summer when we start bringing in produce from the garden and bananas from the store, we start getting gnats all over. They are worse in the kitchen. I've tried the banana in the container and covered tightly with plastic wrap. It works! Also (tip from my son-in-law) pour apple cider vinegar (enough to cover bottom, plus) into a container add a few drops of dish soap (Dawn, Palmolive, etc.) in vinegar and swirl container a little bit.

I have had house plants that I bring inside in the winter for years, but this year I seem to have an infestation of gnats that are in the soil.
