I would suggest the sticky traps that are placed in the pots. 😊

Have fun! Those sticky butterflies are miserable to deal with. They stick to everything including your hair, your hands your clothing… They are a mess! They may help you initially, but I don’t feel they’re worth it in the long run. I ended up using hydrogen peroxide, which is so much easier than those darn sticky traps. Good luck. 😊🪴💚

If no one in the home is allergic to cinnamon, I found that some cinnamon sprinkled on the soil got rid of my gnat problem! It also is supposed to inhibit mold growth!
