# Hey everyone! I just wanted to share my pest control regime… it’s…

_Posted by Sunny on 2023-12-09_

Hey everyone! I just wanted to share my pest control regime… it’s super easy and effective for thrips and spider mites. I add clove (10-20 drops), rosemary (10-20 drops) and mint (5-10 drops) essential oils to water and mist weekly. When I had a thrip outbreak in the summer I watered with the mix for two waterings and it was the only thing that worked 🤓🪴

What plant is this!?!

### Vicky commented on 2023-12-09

Will this work for gnats? I’ve tried the mosquito bits but it has really upset my plants. They are dropping leaves like crazy.

I still have gnats. I’ve used cinnamon on top of the soil for them before… I need to do it again. My plants seemed fine with it

Trying this! I have a white wizard that’s showing signs and I think they got to my lily too🥺 thoughts on replacing the soil first or did you just use that mix in existing soil?

#### Sunny replied on 2024-03-24

It will kill any in the soil too!
