I like to put a rock type dressing over the soil of my indoor plants, that seems to help a good deal. If the gnats can't reach the soil, they can't lay eggs, so after a season or two you'll be rid of them. Also honey + dishsoap + vinegar makes a lovely trap for the live buggers #### Planta 회원님이 2024-04-05에 답변했습니다. How much like an inch of rock layer ? #### Jae님이 2024-04-05에 답변했습니다. Yes, even a 1/2 inch layer if it's small gravel or lecha. Just so bugs can't reach the soil from landing #### Jae님이 2024-04-05에 답변했습니다. Keep in mind, adding this layer will also change how often you need to water because it'll keep the moister from evaporating a little. Think of putting a lid on a pan. Definitely feel the soil down under the top layer every time to check if your plant needs watering ### Macie님이 2024-04-04에 댓글을 남겼어요. i saw a video that if the infestation is pretty bad you can do 1 part of 3% hydrogen peroxide and 4 parts water and just spray alllll over i haven’t tried it personally but hope this helps!! :) ### Peijb님이 2024-04-04에 댓글을 남겼어요. What level of “not expensive” are we talking? I have had awesome success with “death drops” from an online plant shop but won’t name them so I don’t get in trouble with the rules. I double the “rocks” but I use small leca balls - there are some that come in different colors and are adorable. Just need to put at least 1/2 to 3/4 inch deep or they won’t help. #### Planta 회원님이 2024-04-05에 답변했습니다. Under 20, the leca needs to be cleaned but ? #### Peijb님이 2024-04-05에 답변했습니다. The fungus gnat death drops are $38 and have lasted me 2 going on 3 seasons (2yrs) and I have 50+ house plants. I put the drops in every watering as soon as I see a single gnat. And then intermittently when I have no gnats. ### TheCrazyPlantLaidy님이 2024-04-04에 댓글을 남겼어요. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/r7M9f5019DVP-bQUE1MLkHn2YAC4tte0rmgkwcFj0Ng/G_LTfG6wR1eJTT_kgiaZ3A.webp?size=large) #### TheCrazyPlantLaidy님이 2024-04-04에 답변했습니다. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/r7M9f5019DVP-bQUE1MLkHn2YAC4tte0rmgkwcFj0Ng/GF0VeBSqRwqk6BHA4zRSdg.webp?size=large) #### TheCrazyPlantLaidy님이 2024-04-04에 답변했습니다. I use the fist and almost all of my gnats are gone after one time I sprayed all of my plants I have to do it again but it has been three weeks since I used it and have seen 4 gnats sense but killed them #### TheCrazyPlantLaidy님이 2024-04-04에 답변했습니다. And I bottom water my plants #### Planta 회원님이 2024-04-05에 답변했습니다. This is very helpful thank you! ### Josie님이 2024-04-04에 댓글을 남겼어요. Not sure if cinnamon will kill but it helps prevent so it’s a cool organic and cheap option for preventative especially if you have other plants on the area. #### Planta 회원님이 2024-04-05에 답변했습니다. Thanks I’ll give it a shot! ### Leigh님이 2024-04-06에 댓글을 남겼어요. I recently used Nematodes in the soil and it knocked them all out! It took over a week to see a difference which makes sense since they are going after the eggs, not the parents.
