Repeat every 2 days and they’ll go away. #### BlondeinBrooklynさんが2025-06-16に返信しました Didn't work for me. ### BlondeinBrooklynさんが2025-06-16にコメントしました I can't speak to that product but having just dealt with an outbreak that's now under control I did two things - bought those bright yellow sticky traps that you insert into plant soil (I put one in every large plant \& changed them out frequently. Gross yes, but it takes care of the adults. Then i bought "Mosquito Bits" on Amazon which are granules you put on top soil of plant \& water in. They contain a natural bacteria that kills the larvae in your soil without hurting the plant. ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/-ShWEt3pG3w99K5uKkTYNi_tnY0M0QyASTVM574HHQ0/vVPu6YqfST6UuvRL3fIXGQ.webp?size=large) #### happysoxdonkeyさんが2025-06-16に返信しました This is what I did, also, and it’s been working well. Those yellow sticky traps are amazing and also catch flies. I am also hoping they will get mosquitoes. I have been using the mosquito bits to water all my plants as future prevention. #### BlondeinBrooklynさんが2025-06-16に返信しました fingers crossed. i am now putting out traps and they're pretty much clean. and the annoying thing is I sprayed every plant's leaves and soil with Captain Jack's Neem Max which clearly did nothing. It's Bits for me going forward. #### happysoxdonkeyさんが2025-06-16に返信しました Good luck! I was so worried I’d be overwhelmed with gnats but it seems to have solved the problem. ### Mugsyさんが2025-06-16にコメントしました Search “gnats” in the main “pests disease and problems” community page and see the post from Alba with a pic of Microbe-lift. You can get the droplet bottles on Amazon and use one drop per gallon with every single watering. It will kill the larvae. Good luck! 👍 #### Lyndaさんが2025-06-17に返信しました Microbe-lift is what I used when I had exceedingly bad break out of fungus gnats. Because plants all have different watering schedules, it took a while to water all of them with the Microbe-lift, and kill off the fungus gnats. It does take time, and patience, but this product does work. Try it, and I promise, you’ll like it… Good luck! #### Lyndaさんが2025-06-17に返信しました PS. I forgot to mention it is extremely easy! All you do is put a little bit of this stuff in your watering can. I still do it to this day… Just as a preventative! #### Mugsyさんが2025-06-17に返信しました That’s why I use it. I’m all for making things it as easy as possible, and the dropper bottle makes it a super easy application. I had a bad infestation last year, I was putting blue plug-ins and yellow stickies all over my plants and house. This was the only thing that fully eradicated the infestation, and yes, it took a few weeks. #### Lyndaさんが2025-06-17に返信しました Hopefully people will read this, because this is the easiest, and best way to get rid of fungus gnats. I’ve tried everything, including yellow sticky butterflies, which drove me absolutely bonkers when they stuck to my hair, my sleeves, my hands, everything! How annoying! I’ve also used Zevo traps, and others just like Zevo, but at this point, they’re just a monitor, so I can see if there are any of those little guys around. So if you’re reading this, and you have those nasty little GNATS, don’t do the sticky traps, or the mosquito bits… they just won’t do the complete job! Please, stick to the Microbe-lift… You won’t do any better than this! #### Lyndaさんが2025-06-17に返信しました PS. Do you think I should get paid for this commercial… 😉?! ### Yolandaさんが2025-06-16にコメントしました Neem oil or get systemic granules and put in your soil ### Jennさんが2025-06-16にコメントしました Agree with earlier comment about traps and mosquito bits, but I make a “tea” with the bits/dunks (some places aren’t allowed to purchase bits). I drop a dunk in a gallon of water and let it soak for 24 hrs and water my plants with it and refill the container. I don’t like leaving the bits in the soil bc they got moldy for me. I also keep it in the fridge since I heard some people’s “tea” can get moldy with hot temp Use it every time you water for 30 days but honestly it doesn’t hurt the plants so I use it almost everytime I water now. I have a mosquito light so I use that instead of traps and they won’t catch any during the day but at night, they swarm to it #### happysoxdonkeyさんが2025-06-17に返信しました I had left bits in the soil and yesterday I noticed mold on a few. I’m going to have to take them out. Glad that you said this so I know what is going on. ### Plantaメンバーさんが2025-06-17にコメントしました Systemic granules are amazing for indoor houseplants. I don’t use them outside because they will kill pollinators. ### Dead Plant Societyさんが2025-06-17にコメントしました Ive been doing the sticky yellow traps/tea bits method for years - it works but I hate it. My family complains about the house smelling like farts ( the tea I make in batches and store in old milk jugs , then use everytime I water.) The process is messy too. Im trying Microbe lift since I read this. Ill post how it goes. #### Lyndaさんが2025-06-17に返信しました As I said earlier, I promise you’ll like it, because Microbe-lift does work! I’m glad you’re changing products. ### Dead Plant Societyさんが2025-06-20にコメントしました So I checkef Amazon. Did you mean microbe lift, as in the stuff used in ponds? #### Lyndaさんが2025-06-20に返信しました Yes, and just to make sure, I’ll send you a pic of it. Good luck! ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ogsS0GJIvWBzx7CvItnCsicGb0YTD2umkWf-CRAbvzU/bw4S4nrmQN28FTxw9X1rTg.webp?size=large) --- _Plantaコミュニティ (https://getplanta.com)。閲覧はどなたでも可能です。投稿、コメント、いいねをするには、Plantaアプリをダウンロードしてください: https://getplanta.com/download_
