    Not sure about the gnats

    Keep the top of your soil dry. Fungus gnats breed in the top inch or so of soil especially when it is kept too moist.

    You can also stick in a sticky trap to catch the adults. This will minimize egg laying. Mosquito dunks or another treatment for mosquitoes or a systemic insecticide will kill the larvae in the soil.

      The sticky traps work well.

    I just tried watering with a 4/1 water and hydrogen peroxide ratio 4 days ago and today the plants look like there are 95% less gnats. I also only do regular watering from the bottom

    I swear by Mosquito Bits and hydrogen peroxide waterings (1 part hydro to 5 parts water)

    Mosquito bits worked perfectly for me! I soaked them in water for 30 mins like it says before any watering and used that water (can also use with fertilizer) for 1.5-2 months and they were gone. Don’t need to add anything else to the soil. I did have some sticky traps though
