# I’ve started getting gnat larvae in my peace Lilly (and other plants)…

_Amaya님이 2024-02-17에 게시함_

I’ve started getting gnat larvae in my peace Lilly (and other plants) I’ve been spraying the soil with a hydrogen peroxide and water solution, but it only seems to help a little bit. Is there anything else I could do to help get rid of the gnat larva?

get some BTI drops from Amazon. they’re a bacteria that kill the gnat larvae in the soil.

the container with the drops are inside this tub. they use the tub to ship the drops in. one drop per gallon of water and use every single time you water all of your plants! I have over 50 plants and zero gnats.

I recommend bottom watering and don’t spray the soil. Moist soil is what attracts fungus gnats

I would give it a chunkier mix. This will allow it to dry out quicker. Since it is a very thirsty plant.

You have to treat all the plants with the Bti solution. Fungus gnats know the GPS coordinates to all your plants.
