All my plants have fungus gnats :( anyone have any tips or product recommendations for dealing with them? I have a Zevo blue light bug trap near them but it doesn’t seem to be doing much.

i use a combo of the yellow sticky inserts (trap adults), adding systemic granules every few months (sprinkle on top \& water in) and putting Microbe-Lift BMC (a squirt: gallon jug) into my regular water mix. I still get outbreaks but am able to contain them rather quickly.

Oh, and I also started using Arber Bio Insecticide (you mix into a water spray bottle). I had been making my own (squirt/Tbs of each -neem oil + castille soap + rubbing alcohol -the rest H2O) but wasn't seeing results so I caved and bought the Arber.

If you want a real quick fix for the adults , use your vacuum cleaner , suck them up. Works great for fruit flies too. 🤣

Mosquito Bits!! As long as you keep up with it… it can be a little time consuming but I seen a huge difference when I used them. However life has been busy so I’ve just been watering normal and I noticed an increase again. I think it said like 6 weeks + to resolve the issue fully.

We used sticky traps and added a layer of stones on the top and don’t seem to have as many now! They’re really annoying :(
