A question for those using Melcourt Silvagrow MPC this year.

Has anyone using this compost had an unusual amount of fungus gnats this year at all? I've been plagued with them in the greenhouse and in the house and I'm noticing a lot in the garden too. I opened up a half-full bag of compost yesterday and it was teeming with flies inside. I opened a fresh bag that had been stored elsewhere and that had flies inside as well. I've had fungi growing out of the compost too so I'm wondering if I had a bad batch. It's normally really good stuff and I've used it for a few years now so hopefully it's a one off problem.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
