# Hello! I bought this insecticidal spray and just wanted to know if…

Hello! I bought this insecticidal spray and just wanted to know if anyone has used it and how you liked it? I haven’t used it yet but I gotta get these gnats under control. Thanks in advance for the feedback!

Yeah I use a bacteria called BTI (they’re in the drop form unlike the pellets) and it kills the larvae in the soil. One drop per gallon of water and I use it every single time I water my plants and have zero gnats.

Use this too and it’s amazing! A significant decline in the number of gnats in my plants.

Can you get BTI drops in Canada? I haven’t been able to find them.

#### Tigerlilly antwortete am 2023-12-14

No, you can’t at this point. So sorry!

Thanks guys!!

Yes you definitely need either the gnat traps or the nematodes that will literally eat all the larvae and then die off. Sheffield Made Plants on YouTube is super helpful explaining all of this.

also tho i’ve noticed with this brand you have to be careful with how often and heavily you use it because it can kill the roots easily!! at least in my experience!

#### Dave\_opuntiaface antwortete am 2023-12-10

I’m pretty sure I did that.

Good to know!! I gave a few sprays to each of my plants in quarantine. But I’m definitely going to give everyone’s suggestions a go. They sound a lot safer!
