Hello I hope everyone is having an amazing and blessed week! I have a question, my aunt has a plant I’m pretty sure it’s in the fern family and she’s telling me that there are little bugs killing the plant and they are making nests. What should I tell her to do, this has never happened to me so I’m not 100% sure on what to tell her.

It depends on the pest, so try to get a pic of them or ask her to describe them. The “making nests” part makes me think of spider mites

I’m thinking spider mites as well. She can try rinsing off the plant leaves with a gentle water spray and then using a neem oil solution to keep them away.

A picture of the plant and pests would be really helpful to make sure that’s what it really is though

She says they are fungus gnats
