I’ve got a gnat issue! 😩  
Has anyone else used Mosquito Bits and Systemic Granules in conjunction? I mean I would alternate them each week by sprinkling them on the soil then using watering with water soaked in mosquito bits.

Yes, I’ve been using for about 4 weeks and my gnats are controlled. It really does work. I know there are easier drops on the market that I probably will try later just for convenience but yes they work and those yellow sticky traps for the adult gnats. Good luck.🤍🪴

Also, I was told that you’re not supposed to sprinkle them on your soil. You’re supposed to steep them in a gallon of water and water your plants with them.🤍🪴

Yes, I’ve steeped the mosquito bits and I’ve poured the water on top of the plant.

I do have systemic granules but forgot to add them to the soil on my newly repotted plant. I didn’t know if that would be too much for the plant to handle.
