# I bought my golden Pothos from Walmart, a few months ago, and since…

_Posted by Abby on 2024-01-29_

I bought my golden Pothos from Walmart, a few months ago, and since then I realized she had a nasty fungus gnat infestation she brought with her from the store. I have been consistently doing at home remedies, and it has worked wonders. However, there are still some fungus gnats left. What is your best advice on how to completely get rid of them once and for all?

I sprinkle mosquito bits on the soil and i never have any issues with gnats when i do so! Just make sure to re-sprinkle every few months when the bits loose some color

Bonides systemic granules or beneficial nematodes.

Bonide a likely carcinogen, don’t use!

I have the same plant so what i did was to put stones or decorative stones on the soil. It helps trap the water and moisture. It even helped reduce the amount of the fungus gnat. Before I’ll have to slap like 10 to 20 fungus gnats but now I only slap one or none in a day

Same thing I did with my bonsai, I covered the moss with stones
