Any recommendations on what I can use to get rid of fungus gnats and keep them away? Something that is also non toxic and cat safe.

    Mosquito dunks has been my lifesaver. Haven’t had an issue in years!

      Do you dissolve in water and then water the plants with it or??

      They don't dissolve. When I used the dunks or bits, I'd put them in hotish water, then let it sit until it was room temp. Fish out the dunk/tea bag with bits.. Then you water all your plants thoroughly. And you want to do that with every watering for about 2-3 months. To make sure you kill the whole life cycle

      I put it in a bag (so it doesn’t break apart in water) and leave in watering can… I continually refill my watering can and let that water sit about 24 hours with dunk or bits soaking in it…. One dunk will last about 30 days. I never stop using them otherwise they will come back!

    I was beginning to have troubles but then I let the plants really dry out. I’ve changed up my soil with a much more airy soil so it actually dries out, even in winter. But then I started bottom watering and it really worked. But I usually don’t let the very top of the soil actually soak, usually letting it stay dry for about half an inch deep. It’s tricky, but I haven’t seen any more gnats.
