Default Pest control with carnivorous plants

I know of several growers that have pitcher plants growing in their grow spaces and have seen sundews for sale many, many times.

I guess pitchers are attractive to some flying insects - are they effective? What about these sundew plants?

Are any of you making use of these plants to control some form of pest?

Thanks for the info.

fungus gnats in my vivarium. But they might be going awayon their own or because of the mosquito fish fry.
