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? ## 21개의 댓글 ### GreenIvy님이 2026-10-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. Just water with mosquito dunk soaked water. I make a tea and soak half a dunk in an organza bag floating in a 4 liter jug. It kills all larva and breaks the cycle. Pair it with the yellow sticky traps to get both generations of gnats. I water only with this water and I’m gnat free #### Bettybets님이 2026-10-07에 답변했습니다. Thank you! Gonna just order this. ☺️ #### GreenIvy님이 2026-10-07에 답변했습니다. You’ll never have them again if u keep up with the routine of just watering with that! It’s great ### Belle님이 2026-10-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. Idk I’ve had them really bad before and just made sure I wasn’t over watering them 1st, 2nd I cover the top of the soil with cinnamon and neem oil and water that in and 3rd spray down with neem oil. I’ve never tried the mosquitoe bits, If I’ve not been able to get rid of them in a few months I end up just repotting and that’s also a good time to put in a decent amount of cinnamon. I also treat them with a bit of neem spray every two weeks even if I don’t have any fungus gnats, seems to help keep them away!! ### GreenIvy님이 2026-10-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. I promise no other treatment works better! Once you do the dunks you’ll never look back! ### PLANTS!!🪴🌱님이 2026-10-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. Bottom water! I also let all of my plants dry out longer than they should’ve one time and it got rid of them. ### SJ님이 2026-10-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. I use the Mosquito Bits, and it helps immensely! ### Bettybets님이 2026-10-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. Thanks for the encouragement! I will try the new things and not lose hope! 😆 ### Cheyenne님이 2026-10-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. I took my workplaces monstera home to repot but now it has my gnats. I don’t want to bring my bosses plant back riddled with gnats especially in the office so i might have to try the mosquito thing 🫠 #### Bettybets님이 2026-10-07에 답변했습니다. Ooof! Yup you’ll need a fast remedy. #### Plant lady님이 2026-10-08에 답변했습니다. Did anything work for you? ### meg님이 2026-10-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. I’ve also had success with removing the top 2 inches of soil, letting it dry out, then replacing and watering only with neem oil water ### Laura님이 2026-10-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. I usually let it completely dry out and then spray neem oil ### Kobygawa님이 2026-10-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. Mosquito bits, yellow sticky traps, bottom watering and letting the top of your soil dry out a bit will work wonders. This is what I do and it has helped tremendously. I also wipe down my plants without delicate leaves with sexy plant juice every couple weeks to prevent any other pests. Sexy Plant Juice Ingredients: 2 cups water, 1tbsp neem oil, 1tbsp peppermint Castile soap, few drops of 70% isopropyl alcohol. Shake up, spray, and wipe. Hope this helps. ❤️ #### Bettybets님이 2026-10-07에 답변했습니다. Do you wipe the leaves or just the thick stalks? #### Kobygawa님이 2026-10-07에 답변했습니다. Leaves also. It will make them super shiny. Do not place the plant under a grow light or in direct sunlight for at least 30 minutes after using sexy plant juice. #### Jess님이 2026-10-07에 답변했습니다. I love me some sexy plant juice spray!! I also use mosquito bits, works great!! You got this girl 💪🏼💪🏼 [댓글 더 보기](https://getplanta.com/community/lZ7uAE3pQ86jnFGxrCwLrg/28HbQCnp0YPskGQY8rrlBz.md?cursor=GJWQrxNB3BhQb3N0cy5HZXRBbGwAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABsYdKouS_hGA&language=ko) --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
