# Hello! New to this community, but thrilled to be here! I’m struggling…

Hello! New to this community, but thrilled to be here! I’m struggling with the wrath of fungus gnats, specifically in my giant monsteras. I’ve done a hydrogen peroxide flush and watered with mosquito bit water and sprinkled mosquito bits on top of the soil. I also have sticky tape to catch the grown-up gnats, but I’m still seeing them! Any other tips? Do I need to just replace the top few inches of soil?

How long ago did you first treat and how many times have you watered with the mosquito bit tea?

#### Aly svarte den 2025-11-10

I treated with hydrogen peroxide about a week ago and then a week before that and watered with mosquito bit tea two days ago. Am I expecting too much too soon? 😂

Yes 😂! They are irritating little dudes, so I get it! In my experience you’ve got to water with the tea SEVERAL times before you get them all.

I had a BAD case in some soil all my prayer plants and Calathea’s were repotted in, in AUGUST. I thought I’d FINALLY rid myself of all of them but I pulled my red maranta down today to water and the sticky was just COVERED! 🤮🤮🤮

You could also bottom water for awhile and see if that helps.

Systemic granules is what I have used when all else fails.

I have those in my cart from Happy Happy Houseplants! What is the difference between these and mosquito bits?
