I want to get on top of it ASAP. I ordered some sticky traps, but was wondering the best way to kill the larvae? Should I use neem oil? I heard that it works from some websites and that it doesn’t from others. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/aXUbQ-tjrJzPCyeiUDqE3fTCgLaEthGmhJslptkHRLg/Vyo-wsZkQmmFsNh-s13WDA.webp?size=large) ## 18개의 댓글 ### PlantLady님이 2024-04-10에 댓글을 남겼어요. Mosquito bits/dunks or BTI drops in the water and bottom watering help eliminate gnats #### kiwi님이 2024-04-10에 답변했습니다. thank you! ### TheCrazyPlantLaidy님이 2024-04-10에 댓글을 남겼어요. That is such a cute set up and I have a gnat problem too. You can use a captain Jack’s spray. Those are really helped my problem. You just have to be very religious with spraying once a week and bottom watering all your plants. #### kiwi님이 2024-04-10에 답변했습니다. thank you so much !! :) i will do anything to get rid of them lol ### Madz님이 2024-04-10에 댓글을 남겼어요. Omg that shelf! What is it called I want to buy it #### kiwi님이 2024-04-10에 답변했습니다. i wish i could tell you but my friend gave it to me as he was moving states so i’m not sure 😪 ### Ma G님이 2024-04-10에 댓글을 남겼어요. Hydrogen peroxide 3% diluted to kill larvae. Neem oil too. You need mosquito bits. Put cinnamon on top soil. Your plants are too close together if there is knats it will infest all the plants. Look up you tube videos on how to get rid of knats #### kiwi님이 2024-04-10에 답변했습니다. thank you 🙏 :) ### KD 🪴님이 2024-04-10에 댓글을 남겼어요. If you see any gnats you have to treat as if they all have gnats or they will likely continue to spread. #### kiwi님이 2024-04-10에 답변했습니다. i will be sure to do that! thank you! ### Holly님이 2024-04-10에 댓글을 남겼어요. I have gnats too! 😭 I just made a chunkier potting mix to repot my 30+. Will be a chore to do all of them at the same time but I’ve done everything to get rid of them and no solution so far to the constant damp soil. Figure I’ll lose them to root rot if I don’t fix the soil, might as well go for it! Good luck with your gnats! #### kiwi님이 2024-04-10에 답변했습니다. thank you!! i’m gonna try the mosquito bits maybe you could give them a try too? ### Holly님이 2024-04-10에 댓글을 남겼어요. I for whatever reason cannot find them near me? Amazon says can’t deliver. I’m hoping repotting and stickies will get rid of them? 🤞🏻 #### Amie206님이 2024-04-11에 답변했습니다. There is another product called Death Drops from Happy Happy Houseplant. It’s supposed to kill off larvae and active gnats #### Jenna님이 2024-04-12에 답변했습니다. I just used the death drops a little while ago and after one treatment I haven’t found a single gnat! I didn’t have them super badly but one treatment got rid of all of them! #### Amie206님이 2024-04-12에 답변했습니다. That’s a great review Jenna! Haven’t purchased yet, but I saw a knit this week and thought, “uh, NOT this year suckas!” ### Christine님이 2024-04-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. You can kill the larvae with nematodes that die off after the larvae is eaten. Watch Sheffield Made Plants on YouTube, he explains how and what kind. #### kiwi님이 2024-04-11에 답변했습니다. thank you 😊 --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
