Hey all,

I recently discovered that I have a bit of a fungus gnats problem after I let my money tree outside for some sun. They are enjoying the moist soil of the Angel Wings. I just sprayed the soil with a dilution of mild soap and water. Anything else that can help? Everyone is healthy I caught it quick enough but I’m trying to stop it in its tracks!

3:1 water and hydrogen peroxide- saturate the soil. Good luck!

Here’s a list of things I’ve used.  
\- Diatomaceous Earth  
\- Mosquito Bits  
\- Beneficial Nematodes

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.
