Hi!!! I am having issues with my outdoor plants having gnats on them. I’ve been using a gnat spray for the plants but unsure how to deal with the gnat issue! Any suggestions?!!!

For outdoor plants I use nematode inoculation to the ssoil to kill gnats larva. Steinernema feltiae specifically. You can also release some green lace wings. Their larva eats all kinds of pests.

I should caveat that with, check your local laws on releasing bugs 🐛. And find the best native species for you. The nematodes stay in the ground you inoculate, so shouldn't be an invasive issue

1\. Yellow sticky trips  
2\. Carnivorous plants (optional)  
3\. Try cutting back on watering  
4\. Make mosquito bit tea

Or

Drown ur plant in a basin of water with soap for an hour.
