I have some indoor plants. Several different kinds. I seem to have plant gnats. I thought it was fruit flies but they are coming from my plants. My daughter told me to order diatomaceous earth and sticky yellow things to put in them. It comes today. Is this correct?

DE only works when dry, look into mosquito bits or hydrogen peroxide and yes sticky traps for adults 😍

You can also pour neem oil directly into the soil and it’ll knock them out asap. :)

I just recently had them on one of my plants. I used the sticky traps and killed them when I saw them around the pot. I also put a layer of fine gravel on the top and after about a week and a half they were all gone.
