# I’m so fed up with the fungus gnats. I’ve been spraying with neem oil…

_Geplaatst door Bettybets op 2026-10-07_

I’m so fed up with the fungus gnats. I’ve been spraying with neem oil for 2 weeks, using sticky traps, and layered with pebbles. I’m ready to try mosquito dunk or beneficial nematodes. Which do you think is better? Or should I continue with the neem oil though slow?

I use pest control granules. Sprinkle on the soil, water in. It makes a HUGE difference. I like anything I can just water with it water in. Keep it simple means I’ll keep up with it.

I fortunately live in a state where rain barrels/collection are encouraged. I put the mosquito dunks in my rain barrel and this is the only thing I use to water my houseplants. It has worked great! I have a couple of Zevo lights as backup but I rarely see a gnat in those anymore.
