I’ve recently started growing some herbs in my kitchen. however i have gnats right now 😔 i’ve put diatomaceous earth in my other plants but i don’t know what to do about my herbs. they have some sprouts but i have to keep the soil most to finish the germination process for the other seeds. what should i do about the gnats in my herbs?
I’ve finally got my gnats to die down and it has been a couple months. I think a hydrogen peroxide wash might be too tough on germinating herbs, but I did buy mosquito dunks and make a tea out of it to water and mist. I also put Yellow sticky gnat catchers in each plant, and plug in ones. I also noticed you have your plants by a sink. I clean out my sink with hydrogen peroxide and scrub out any food debris everyday.

2개 좋아요they’re looking good today though! lots of new sprouts this morning. i’m giddy over these lol. just don’t want them to die 😢
From what I know, the gnats won’t kill them, they are just annoying as heck

I like to put 5-7 drops of peppermint oil in a spray bottle full of water and a bit of alcohol and it helps me fight those pests!
