Does anyone have any tried and true methods to get rid of gnats? We are struggling with them over here. I’ve seen some stuff on fb but I don’t want to kill my baby!

plant.lesbiani like to use neem oil concentrate mixed with water, plus it can also be used to clean your leaves and prevent insects on the leaves

OnnieI have tried almost every method and have found the following to work (and have used on my calathea without harming): - mosquito bits granules: make a tea (4 tablespoons per gallon) by putting granules in a net baggie and soak this baggie in Warm water for 30-60 mins (can soak longer). Water all plants every week - every two weeks. Repeat even after seeing adult gnats because their eggs/larvae could still be alive even if the adults are absent. Put yellow sticky traps in all plants. It’s a long road- took me about 6 weeks to get under control. You can do it!

Check out “Plant life with Ashley Anita” on YouTube and watch her “easy one step -how to get rid of fungus gnats”

Mosquito Bits applied directly to the top layer of soil is not working. FYI. I’m about to try some store bought fruit fly traps.

Okay. I just actually finished dealing with this. I soaked the soil in 2 parts water, 1 part h2o2, and that takes care of the larvae and the fungus/mold that they feed on. I used sticky traps and a zevo for the adults. Systemic for ongoing prevention
