i’ve recently asked the same question and tried multiple suggestions but none have worked fully. does anyone know any remedies or recommendations to get rid of gnats in plants? since summers rolling around my plants are compromised completely😭i’ve tried neem oil, sticky traps (the outcome has been crazy) and a few others.

    Have you tried beneficial nematodes? I’ve heard those are really helpful, others have said mosquito bits watered in too

    I have sticky traps set high and low. I have a vinegar,sugar and dish soap bowl set up. Diatomaceous earth sprinkled on the top soil or if you’d like to do a mixture in water and then pour into the soil. That will kill the juvenile life stage within the soil.

      Yes! I’ve been using mosquito bits for months and it does work. I think people give up too soon wanting a quicker solution.

    I’ve been using peroxide & water over the soil and a Zevo flying insect trap for the adults has worked great.
