i can't speak for the one on the right, but mosquito bits has been working great for me in terms of fighting off fungus gnats!

I have tried mosquito bits also but didn’t find them effective at keeping gnats away but they did add to the aesthetic of my plants and helped with moisture. I never tried the other one. I did try a powdered insecticide that worked well with gnats.

I’ve never used the bits but have been using the drops for a while now (they are the same bacteria, just in different forms). I have ZERO gnats! just one drop per gallon of water and water with them every single time!

I use the bits and I recommend using the drops. The bits can be a bit of a hassle compared to just adding some drops into the watering can.

I’ve been meaning to try the microbe-lift version. I’ve been using mosquito bits for a while, but I don’t love dealing with the granules all the time

#### Tigerlilly replied on 2024-01-28

it’s so easy to just add a drop in water!

I’ve used the bits for major infestations. Then began using the drops in everything moving forward and it’s helped a lot keeping \*most\* of the fungus gnats away.
