I am finally combatting mine and I think 🤞🏻 I’m winning. I’ve been watering with mosquito bits for the past couple weeks, washed all of my plants with a neem oil solution, put up a few sticky traps, cried a little, and then put up one of those zevo plug ins.

mosquito bits are so expensive, where did you get yours?

I paid about $15 for a 30 oz bag at Home Depot. Definitely cheaper on Amazon. But this bag should get me through the rest of the summer if I play my cards right.

Mosquito Bits, ftw!

Bought the bag of them on Amazon for around $12, IIRC. But I’m still using the bag from last summer, this summer. They seem to still be working (i.e. didn’t go bad).

Follow the directions for Fungus Gnat Larvae Control and you shouldn’t have to use a whole bag. Unless you really have a lot of infested plants, in which case you might want to consider converting them to LECA.

Sand over the soil or match sticks (with the red sulfur side down) into the soil.
