I have a peace Lilly with what I believe is fugal gnats. Just watered with peroxide solution. Any suggestions? Should I report?

Usually I try keep the original soil until it is really out control…I wait till it’s dry and then I do neem oil drench …monitor for the plant for 3 or 4 days and see how it’s doing …. To control fungus gnats

I got some misquote bits to make a tea to water my plants with to get rid of fungus gnats. Just repotted several plants and ended up getting fungus gnats in my compost worm bin. Then before I could get them all some migrated to a few plants. Hoping this will stop the cycle. Also bought a few of the plug in gnat/fly traps that have sticky boards, which work great to attract adult gnats.

Go on Amazon and get the gnat sticky traps. They work wonders! Don’t water until the soil is very dry.

I'm having a ton of trouble with those gnats. The secret is reducing moisture content. I'm trying the sand on top of the soil trick next. The neem oil did not do the trick.
