Hi All,

What is your best recommendation for pothos plants Insect killer? \& how often do you use?

I've had mine for coming up on a year \& have never used any but with the summer coming up, i'm eager to start the process.  
Let me know your thoughts!😁

It’s great to see your working to prevent pests before it’s too late. Igor gnats which are very common so this is how to prevent them:

\- If your plants is prone to gnats you can keep a yellow sticky trap or zeevo trap.  
\- During your plants mists you can stay 1 or 2 sprays of neem oil in your stay can to prevent gnats and not have a stink.  
\- Get a fan and run it to circulate the airflow of the room which will keep the gnats out.  
\- Dont overwater your plants and even bottom water when possible.

I struggle with gnats \*cry\*  
I found the best thing that works for me is to not overwater (they love moist soil), spray with neem oil every day for 7 days when I notice a lot of them, and then use yellow sticky gnat traps (Amazon has them for cheap)! :)

I honestly haven't had any gnat issues, suprisingly but also knock on wood Lol.  
Thanks!!
