# I grew all this! Annnnd now I have to treat all of it for bugs 😩…

_Posted by Summz on 2026-08-27_

I grew all this! Annnnd now I have to treat all of it for bugs 😩 Mealies, spider mites and fungus gnats. That’s the life of a plant lover. 😂🤪 A couple of months ago, quite a few got repotted and the soil I used must have had the mother load of fungus gnats eggs because they tried taking over my house! After a few weeks of treatments they are almost under control. I’m feeling like I may never use new soil again without mixing in a systemic! Does that even work?
