Hello! I am having a problem with little gnat’s inhabiting my chinese money plant, snake plant, and monstera. I have tried using Neem oil, but it hasn’t worked. Does anyone know how to get rid of these little bugs?

    I buy those yellow sticky traps and put them in some of my plants. I also have a glowing wall sticky thing that attracts bugs with the light: it works wonders.

      This is SO helpful. Where do you get the sticky things to put in your plants? And the wall thing?

    You can also put some spearmint oil in a sprayer or your water

    Get some mosquito dunks and soak it in your water for a while before watering your plants. They contain a bacteria that kills the gnat larvae and won’t hurt much else. You’ll need the yellow ones for the adults until you get rid of them.
