Not to worry, your plants are probably safe. They are just there to annoy and creep us out 😖 if you do a search for fungus gnats in Planta you will come up with lots of advice. Good luck. Im starting to see them too. 😳

To tackle the infestation, you have to use sticky traps (for the adults) AND biological mosquito control. Buy this product (it kills the gnat larvae before they can grow and lay more eggs) — I add 1-2 drops to my watering can (1qt) and use that to water my plants. I never skip the drops. I haven’t had gnats in over a year. And the product will easily last you 12-15 months.

Trust me. I know your pain, but there is a way out.
