I am losing my mind with all of the fungus gnats this year. I finally got them under control, and now a new plant is threatening to infect everyone again. I’ve tried neem oil, beneficial nematodes, and granules. Anything else I should be using? They are all in my office and I work from home and the gnats are driving me insane!

    A cup of vinegar nearby with tinfoil over top (poke holes in it) will help get some of the adults

    Have traps out for the adults, either homemade or you can buy sticky traps from any garden center. Also, try watering the next few times with 1:4 hydrogen peroxide to water ratio. Then switch to bottom watering to keep the top inch or so dry.

    The mosquito bits dunks! You can get pretty much anywhere and they’re a game changer. I also like the little blue sticky traps you put in the soil. Those two things should get rid of them!

    Maybe try sprinkling diatomaceous earth on the top of the soil if the gnats touch the soil they will die!
