And I've bloodied the moon.
I bring gloom when I step in the room,
With the fumes of a tomb.

It gets worse before it gets better. The fact you're noticing more adult flies is a sign its working.
Make sure you let the medium completely dry out between waterings. If any part of it stays damp continuously you'll never get rid of the larvae. Simply put, the larvae cannot survive without moisture. Using perlite/hydroton/verm/etc as a mulch layer also helps.
Are you 100% sure they're fungus gnats and not fruit flies? Also, does that bottle say anything about the neem being cold-pressed?
Forgot to mention that nematodes aren't going to do much for you considering the neem repels them too.
