For the potted ones I have changed out the soil to a more chunky one that drains better. Clear puts so I can see where we are with moisture, and only watering from the bottom. I use the app for care so I’m not over watering or under watering. We also replace sticky traps everytime we water. Help! lol I’m going crazy! ## 10개의 댓글 ### Heather님이 2025-07-22에 댓글을 남겼어요. I’ve been battling them BAD this year. I started using neem cake to make a tea to water ALL my plants with to disrupts the lifecycle. I’ve also gotten some of the indoor flytraps to get the adults. I started about a week ago and so I still am waiting to see how well it works but I am hopeful. ### Caroline W님이 2025-07-22에 댓글을 남겼어요. I got some carnivorous plants and they helped immensely with my gnat problem. I have pinguicula and sundew plants. They’re super easy to take care of too #### Mrs. Maingi님이 2025-07-22에 답변했습니다. I think I’m going to do this!! Everything we have tried is not working. ### Pork Chop님이 2025-07-22에 댓글을 남겼어요.

I have been using hydrogen peroxide in my water. I also use the gnat granules on some plants. I have had more success with the peroxide. I also spray with an organic bio insecticide spray every few weeks as prevention from gnats and the other pests. I do bottom water sometimes. And I started mixing my own soil because the soil I get from big box stores tend to hold too much moisture. ### Mermaid님이 2025-07-23에 댓글을 남겼어요. Mosquito Bits and sticky pads. ### SamShine님이 2025-07-23에 댓글을 남겼어요. I use big leaf energy spray (oil blend) and make my own fungicide with Castile soap and baking soda in distilled water. The combo of those two things sprayed every 2ish weeks on my plants has kept the pests away and I live in the south. Hope this helps! 😊 ### Mrs. Maingi님이 2025-07-23에 댓글을 남겼어요. Thank you everyone!! I’ve tried it all. I guess I’ll just keep on this path! lol ### Nicole님이 2025-07-24에 댓글을 남겼어요. Yellow sticky traps, bonide systemic houseplant granules \& zevo insect traps. I have the same issue and already I am seeing huge reduction in gnats with only one application of the granules. Good luck! I’ve also seen people use mosquito bit tea in addition to granules --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
