Thank you so much! #### prayformyplants님이 2025-05-13에 답변했습니다. You can also get mosquito bits and soak them in water to make a tea and then water your plants with that. Sticky traps will only capture some adults. There may be larva in the soil so you will have to treat that as well or they won’t go away #### Aisha님이 2025-05-13에 답변했습니다. Hi, what are mosquito bits? Thank you #### Kenya님이 2025-05-14에 답변했습니다. Hi how do you treat the larva in the soil? Or how can I know if I have that? Thank you sm for your comment! #### Bailey님이 2025-05-14에 답변했습니다. mosquito bits are small pellets that help to kill things like gnats and the larvae in the soil. _앱에 답글이 1개 더 있습니다._ ### Topekatwister님이 2025-05-13에 댓글을 남겼어요. In addition to other comments, also make sure your pot has drainage holes. If it holds too much moisture it can attract gnats. ### fuey님이 2025-05-13에 댓글을 남겼어요. I use insecticide when I water, spray leaves with neem oil, and have systemic granules in my soil :) any of these help. Neem oil can also be used as an additive in the water #### fuey님이 2025-05-13에 답변했습니다. For a plant that’s going to be repotted, I discard all soil and (nicely) spray the roots with water before I repot. It’s been the most immediate and effective way to get rid of them for me ### Plantsmybeloved님이 2025-05-14에 댓글을 남겼어요. I love neem oil but it can be stinky 😅 I add peppermint castille soap (~1 tsp per liter) to minimize the smell #### Kenya님이 2025-05-14에 답변했습니다. Do you add it to the soil? Thanks for your comment! #### Plantsmybeloved님이 2025-05-14에 답변했습니다. Yep! I add it in with water on watering day :) ### BigGrac님이 2025-05-14에 댓글을 남겼어요. This is my holy grail. Same thing as the mosquito bits but you can just add one drop to like a gallon of water and it wipes them out. I add them with every watering and it lasts forever since you need so little ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/gp3ljrhTeqIpsNXLvuCr41BeH4trYDpQyRTfFa5Nu54/4EijV4pjS-6RLXI4PLd_kA.webp?size=large) #### Alocasia addict님이 2025-05-14에 답변했습니다. Agreed! It works ! ### Bedroom Botanist님이 2025-05-14에 댓글을 남겼어요. Put a layer of sand above the soil. Completely disrupts their life cycle. Haven’t had gnats in years. ![3개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/OstYxuofdA55e9wtdilw6SpTwUe0TiZCBRiWOzdb4s4/d5JZmppCTvmRuT3t-kaeCw.webp?size=large) ![3개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/OstYxuofdA55e9wtdilw6SpTwUe0TiZCBRiWOzdb4s4/5GL-9HB6Qb6SJtDVxFgq6g.webp?size=large) ![3개 중 3번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/OstYxuofdA55e9wtdilw6SpTwUe0TiZCBRiWOzdb4s4/FpwTw5i1TGWiHtDUknjzFg.webp?size=large) --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
