Just applied my first Mosquito Bit tea to my plants and going to see what happens! Had a horrible wave of pests this fall and now the fungus gnat larvae have found their way in😭

Mosquito bit tea is the best! It’s not harmful to animals etc but does the job by killing all the larvae under the soil. The gnat stickers help to show there is a problem but does not address the problem itself. i have been using mosquito bit tea for several year and have recommended this to friends who have fungus gnats :) So far, 100% success rate. Please keep us posted!

how fast does it kill the larvae? the larvae on my main affected plants are all active at the top of the soil right now and don’t seem to be dying yet.

you’ll want to pair watering with mosquito bits with sticky traps if you’re not using them already!!

Let me know how it works

### sarita reageerde op 2024-11-02

it’ll probs take a week or so for you to notice the change, but boy does it work!! i had a terrible infestation this summer, when i tried mosquito bits it was a relief to finally find something that actually helped

thank you for helping! i’m praying this works since some of my favorite plants are the only ones affected😭
