# Help please!!! I have soooo many fungus gnats and don’t know what to…

_Publicado por H el 2024-09-04_

Help please!!! I have soooo many fungus gnats and don’t know what to do to get rid of them permanently. I’ve tried sticky traps and they get covered and replaced regularly and I’ve also use granules too. What can I do? Tia

i used a bowl of apple cider vinegar and honey once and just placed it in the base of the plant affected. it attracted the gnats and they would get stuck and drown in the bowl. that helps with the adult ones at least, and then i used diluted peroxide and lightly sprayed the top layer of soil to kill the babies/eggs

This stuff has completely gotten rid of the knots in my house from plants. I put 2-3 drops in my watering can every time I water my indoor plants.

Repotting with healthy soil may be a good idea, (with well draining soil that does not have peat moss). They’re eating fungus present in the soil which may indicate root rot if it’s really bad, or too much fertilizer (fungus up-cycles organic matter)

I soak mosquito bits in my water and use that to water my plants once in a while

I had the same problem. These nematodes did the trick and eliminated all the gnats. I also added drainage to some of the worst offenders.
