# Does anyone have suggestions for all natural fungus gnat repellents?…

_Posted by B true on 2025-12-01_

Does anyone have suggestions for all natural fungus gnat repellents? I’m very used a pest spray with peppermint oil and food grade diatomaceous earth powder. They both work for a bit, but then I notice them flying around within a day or two.

I know some people use nematodes or hydrogen peroxide. I have not personally used either of these but I’ve heard them spoken about a lot.  
Personally I use mosquito dunks or bits \& I find they work really well.

I use predatory mites from Natures Good Guys. Not a repellent, but they'll stop the gnats and keep them at bay.

I use the organic granules. They work well. I also started putting peroxide in the water when I water my plants. Every so often, I use an organic pest spray. Haven't had gnats in my house in months.
