Go get some mosquito bits or donks and mix one in your water and water with it or put it on top of the soil and water with it
Thanks, I will get some tomorrow.
Like @Jayjay504 said Mosquito bits works great. I sprinkle on top of the soil and water in. Many here (myself included) use sticky traps as well to catch the flyers. Takes about 2 weeks.
I agree
yes I was spraying trying to kill gnats. Thanks
Nice plants thanks for the info
Start with mosquito bits soaked in water. After that allow your soil to dry out good establishing a drench to drought routine. Also hang a few fly strips to catch the adults. The gnats thrive in the first few inches of moist soil. Allowing the soil to dry out good will eradicate the eggs and larvae also. Gotta disrupt the life cycle.
Yes Thanks I seem to be getting the same advice. Mosquito bits .
I had a very similar situation, and was told to get some ‘Cal-Mag’ and water with Cal-Mag water. I’m no expert, but I’ve had reasonable help from that stuff.
Thanks I got some mesquito bits just did first treatment
Cal mag helps with fungus gnats?
‘Cal-Mag’ was a misdiagnosis, I think. I was led to believe it would/can help. I’ve had such a horrible experience with these guys, I threw up my arms in disgust, and I’m doing a mass disinfection. Bleach, soap, and water are the only things that’re going to get rid of these guys! I’m tired of living with yellow sticky tape!
