What should I do about gnats? I have 12ish plants on a stand and I’m not sure which ones are attracting them but I want them gone.

    You have to use a 2-stage process. Use yellow sticky gnat traps,they sell them at Lowe’s or Walmart in the plant sections, to trap/kill the adults. The females can lay hundreds of eggs in the top layer of soil. You can get mosquito bits, that’s the brand name - also at Lowe’s, to kill the eggs and larvae in the soil. Just make sure you read the instructions on the bag cuz they are toxic!

    I have used the systemic houseplant granules and have had so so luck. I have found that it’s best to use a plant spray for pests but key is to spray the soil after EVERY time you water.

      Good point. I ordered the mosquito bits and sticky traps. Hopefully it works!
