I’ve tried two now that don’t seem to be doing the trick! ## 6 comentarios ### Chris\&Precious comentó el 2023-06-30 Also thank you for tips on gnats ### Melissa comentó el 2023-06-30 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. ### Brandon \& Michelle comentó el 2023-06-30 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 #### Abundanceofplants respondió el 2023-06-30 So you mix the diatomaceous earth in with the soil? #### Brandon \& Michelle respondió el 2023-07-01 Yes or layer on top. It loses its function once you water it fyi ### iambijoux comentó el 2023-06-30 Systemic for both. Sticky traps have worked well for me, too! --- _La comunidad de Planta (https://getplanta.com).
