Does anybody know how to get rid of these little flies that are everywhere on my plants and in my room?!?!? I want them gone as soon as possible before I can run to Home Depot to get actual press spray!! And I need something that won’t kill them 😅

Fungus gnats!! I use the sticky traps, and I have ~ 90 plants and do not struggle with them any more at all. They have black ones on Amazon (so you don’t see how many bugs there are as easily 🤢), usually in packs for super cheap. Alternatively, you can let your plants dry out a bit more and that should also help.

I also use an insecticide and diatomaceous earth (though the latter I’ve just started doing so I’m not sure how much it helps).

People mention the little boogers almost daily so if you search fungus gnats on here, you should find lots of helpful tips!❤️
