    Mosquito bits, swear by the things. You can get them on Amazon, put a sprinkle of them in water, strain the bits then you can use the water as you normally would for your plants, after a couple rounds of watering with the treatment the larvae and eggs should be killed off before they can emerge from the soil, and just repeat this every so often, or even every time you water to keep them at bay

    I am in the same boat, i started using this. Someone posted recently about all the steps that they’re doing to get rid of them. It was a very thorough post. Try to go back and look for it.

    Hey, I see people posting about fungus gnats almost daily so if you search those words in the place I circled, you’ll find a lot of tips. I hope you can get rid of them quickly because I know they are annoying!🤪

    Hi Nicole. I am the one the Doll was referring to with the recent post. I will post a screenshot here for you. Mosquito bits DO work. Good luck!! 🫶🏼🌱

    There’s a few things! Yellow sticky traps or vinegar traps are a big help, and if they persist there’s some sort of concoction you can water the plant with (but I’ve never tried it before). You can also repot the plants into a more well draining soil with less organic material, since fungus gnats are attracted to moisture and things like compost in the soil!

    Beneficial nematodes and/or bonides systemic granules to kill the larvae. Sticky traps and/or zevo traps for the adults.
