Just got some of these sticky bug catchers and was wondering if you put them in every plant or just a few in each area. Thanks

Depending on the pot size I have more than one in a pot, but I’m only putting them in plants I know have the little gnats

I had a nap problem living in California and a moist area. And I probably had them in all of my plants. I also put a drop of mosquito bits in the water. And that actually helped the situation. But those sticky traps are great if you don’t have that option.

If they are in one they might be in all it’s up to you

Don’t use mosquito bits it molds in my experience! Use a gnat insecticide

Really? I haven’t used them long enough to know/see that happen. I might go inspect some soil…

I made a tea with it and watered my plants with it and noticed the tea molded in its bottle . I removed all solids from it so it prior to storing so I found this odd. After a few days all the plants I watered it with molded. It is a bacteria grown on corn at the end of the day.

Just my experience!

### Stephanie reageerde op 2025-02-05

Thanks for all the info. I haven't notice very many issues yet but wanted to be proactive.

### Dave\_opuntiaface reageerde op 2025-02-05

I use them in any big plant that I have to mist.

I use the sticky traps for many of my plants; sometimes more than one. I have been known to trim the edges to fit amongst the leaves.

I also use Neem oil to smother the little Sh@\&$)s. Use both for a better result.

Thanks

These traps are great, I also cut mine in half to make them last longer especially for smaller plants/pots 😊

#### Stephanie antwoordde op 2025-02-08

Great idea. Thanks
