Favorite product for fungus gnats &/or mites?? I’ve tried two now that don’t seem to be doing the trick!

    I’ve had luck with using pebbles on the top layer of my soil. It is hard for gnats to burrow under and just as hard to find a way out if they are already in. Haven’t noticed them since (knock on wood). Not sure about spider mites. I think I might have some on my one plant so I’m looking for that answer also.

    If financially possible, just replace the soil. Give it a nice airy mix with diatomaceous earth and use Neem oil when watering next. 100% gets rid of the issue

      So you mix the diatomaceous earth in with the soil?

      Yes or layer on top. It loses its function once you water it fyi

    Systemic for both. Sticky traps have worked well for me, too!
