_Lagt ut av RestingBirchFace den 2023-05-31_

Recently found fungus gnats in 2 of my 4 philodendrons, I’ve separated most of them, but I’m wondering if I should just repot right away or try a peroxide soak first?  
This is my first time handling them and I’m not sure what the best course of action is.

TIA

Have you tried the yellow sticky traps yet?

I do have one in each planter that has the gnats, only caught 2 so far despite seeing many more

I spray the soil with neem oil spray for plants. don’t spray the leaves- wipe off if you do. I spray this on a cloth to wipe down my leaves too.  
I also use a Plug-in Gnat/bug Catcher Fly Tapper with uv Light- plug in by your plants.

You could also try getting some sundew carnivorous plants to put nearby to problem child’s, to catch more gnats in a natural way.  
But also might want yo change out the soil of 2 infested plants.
