    Along with the above suggestions, I’ve also used “mosquito bit tea”, hydrogen peroxide dilution, sticky traps, diatomaceous earth, and more recently have started using “Microbelift Mosquito Control”. Currently experimenting with what the best method is for my plants! Also, top dressing your plants with rocks or gravel tends to help. Just be mindful of the water retention

      Great info! What is the next best treatment for treating these blankety, blank, blank fungus nats? I have ordered some little yellow butterfly sticky traps from Amazon that someone told me about. Also, did a spray with a copper fungicide which I needed to do anyway for the final treatment of black spot. THXS again for all your help.🍃🎋🎍🌿

    Patience. Hit it with everything, but know that it takes a bit to get them all, given their egg/lifecycle

    Agreed! It will take time… look into the life span and cycle of fungus gnats! Other than that, stay consistent with your treatments
