# I have these in all my plants and I’m realizing that they are more…

_Posted by Jumanji Custodian on 2026-03-14_

I have these in all my plants and I’m realizing that they are more obvious around my house with the more plants I invest in. What are things that have worked for you guys to combat this/ get rid of the gnat problem? Thanks for advice.

I used systemic crystals and got rid of mine.

I use this when I get them home!! I give them a full spa treatment and put that in the soil when if I see zero pests, I think preventative treatment is the ideal solution for anything new and with the ones you’ve had you can sprinkle it on the top soil and water it in slowly!!

I used systemic granules already mentioned. I also used arber insecticide and fungicide when I watered for 2 months. Eliminated all of them. Now I just use granules in new plants and mosquito bit tea when I water.

Okay awesome I ordered both. I appreciate the help!

### Torig commented on 2026-03-14

I use mosquito bit pellets and sticky traps like yours

These capture a lot of gnats along with neem oil and the yellow sticky traps. I use the yellow traps but I don’t like them because clumsy me always get leaves stuck to them when moving or watering them

I also use the Bonide as pictured above with neem oil and the gnat traps I cut up and peel only one side off them lie them sticky side down and they catch the newly hatched ones before they can even start there flying journey!! They are also not very good fliers like your typical gnats so that’s a good thing!!
