I’ve watered my plants with filtered water diluted with hydrogen peroxide. That tends to kill the fungus in the soil that the knats feed on. The correct ratio would have to be googled as I kind of winged it. We also used sticky fly traps in all the plants and plug in lights with a sticky part behind. Earlier this year we had close to an infestation and now they’re all gone :)

You can also use apple cider vinegar! The gnats will fly into a jar of it and drown.. it’s a bit gross to clean out but it will do the trick. Hope this helps!

Mosquito bits tea? What is that??

They are probably fungus gnats not fruit flies if they live in the soil. Mosquito Bits works. Follow the instructions on the package. Use it every time you water.
