Hey can someone tell me the hands down best way to keep gnats out of soil or undercontrol?

I agree with using the mosquito bits, except I found that if you soak them in water for a couple hours and strain out the bits then water your plants with the water. I use the shaker bottle of bits and I put a cap full per gallon of water. This will almost eradicate them you might see a couple gnats…

The yellow sticky papers will also help.

And the runoff water is full of dead gnats. Its a beautiful site.

Thanks, about how much of it do you need when you water?

I never water to runoff so I didn’t know that @emgoldslo And yes yellow cards are a good way to tell when it’s time for another treatment of bit juice (soaked bits) thanks @kellydans I spaced an important part of fighting with the little gnat bastards :grinning:

I soak a capful in a gallon of water. Strain, the bits out and use that gallon to prewater my plants before I feed. [image] Farmer2: Thanks, about how much of it do you need when you water?

No I’m saying I never water to runoff, if my plant saucers are ever wet it was an accident

Hmmm, interesting. I thought that could cause a salt buildup? [image] MeEasy: No I’m saying I never water to runoff, if my plant saucers are ever wet it was an accident

I don’t use salts I grow organic in living soil

Gnats! Can some one help?
