I recently discovered my monstera in the “auto drain pot” (I’ve learned the error of my ways) had a bad case of what looks like gnats of some kind and they were killing it so I propagated and and re-rooting it. The gnats have moved to other plants and I plan to fully repot everything with new soil and rinse all roots and pots. Will this fully get rid of the gnats?

Am I watering with this mixture or spraying over plant and soil???? Thank you!

sorry! spray it all over the front and back of leaves and soil! it will not hurt the plant only the gnats. you might want to try this before repotting everything cuz that’s gonna be a pain!

You can also try mosquito bits!

It may or may not get rid of the gnats completely. In addition to cleansing and repotting , I’ve e had luck with putting pebbles on the top layer of soil. It makes it hard from the gnats to burrow under them and just as hard to come out if they are already in the soil.
