I am getting annoying tiny spiders and gnats in my indoor plants. What is a good non toxic pesticide I can use that won’t harm my kids or my plants

    Not sure it will work for spiders but I used these yellow stick traps for the gnats which work well. In case I’m not allowed to advertise … I buy them from a large online retailer beginning with A (other sources are probably available.)

    I can also vouch for the yellow sticky traps, they’re great at catching gnats. Spiders in less familiar with. I hear good things about 3% hydrogen peroxide treatments for gnats and also neem oil, although I haven’t used those myself yet.

      Do I dilute the peroxide with water?

      Is the neem oil safe to use for produce and herbs? And is it pet/kid friendly?

      At the proper concentration, neem oil is generally considered safe. “Neem oil is not listed as a toxic plant product for cats or dogs as per the ASPCA Poison Control Center or Pet Poison Helpline, yet I always recommend cautious use with all dogs and cats under the guidelines of the pet’s primary veterinarian Visit Petmed dot com and search neem oil for pets

      When used correctly, neem oil is safe for most plants, pets, and humans.

      Neem oil can be used on herbs, but generally speaking, insecticidal soap is a safer option.

    Watering with mosquito bits helps get rid of gnats too.
