Hey☺️ my plants have started getting little gnats on them I fertilised them with store bought fertiliser and are still seeing them I was wondering if there was any home remedies to try to keep them at bay

A common problem 😊 if you do a search on “fungus gnats” in the app you will find oodles of advice.

You'll need to kill the adults and larvae that are in the soil. The most home remedy, natural way would be sticky traps, the yellow ones you put in the pots or ones like zevo, that plug in and light up blue, to kill the adults. For the larvae you can buy beneficial nematodes to innoculate the soil. Steinernema feltiae is the species you want.

Oooo thank you I will try that and buy one 😊

Sticky traps/zevo, add peroxide to water roughly 1:10 ratio every watering for a few months. Let the soil dry out before watering (except certain plants). Also treat with bonide systemic. Covers all your bases for cheap.
