Caught the gnats early on, thank goodness 😮‍💨 treated with hydrogen peroxide to kill those pesky larvae and finally got the sticky catchers.

What’s the method with the hydrogen peroxide? I’ve been having gnat issues with my dieffenbachia

I use 1:3 ratio of hydrogen peroxide! 1 part hydrogen peroxide, 3 parts water. Treat the top layer of soil and then sticky traps to kill the adults.

Thanks! I’m treating mealy bugs on one plant with an alcohol and soap solution and have been spritzing the soil with that, but it hasn’t been making a difference. I’ll try peroxide!
