# This is my Audrey Ficus, which I’ve had for about a year. 6 months…

This is my Audrey Ficus, which I’ve had for about a year. 6 months ago she got gnats and she is 2 months clean off them.

Here are some tips to prevent and kill gnats.

Why you have Gnats:  
\- You over watered your plants or have too large of a pot.  
\- Your plants humidity attracted gnats.  
\- You recently bought a plant which had gnats, which spread to the rest of your plants.  
\- It’s just gnat season which is spring and early summer.

Kill Gnats:  
\- Spray Plants with neem oil (neem oil stinks a bit so you can use 1/2 diluted neem oil. This is make the gnats want to get away from your plant.  
\- Get zeevo fly traps and turn the lights off. The gnats will be attracted to the zeevo light and it works like a charm.  
\- Get yellow sticky traps and put them 1 inch above the soil. You will get the rest of the gnats from your plant.  
\- If you have caught 10 gnats or see gnats in your soil they are probably going to reproduce in your plant. You shoudl put 1/4 hydrogen peroxide in the soil and if it bubbles it worked. Do this for 2-3 weeks in a row or when you see no more gnats.

Preventing Gnats:  
\- If your plants is prone to gnats you can keep a yellow sticky trap or zeevo ect to them like for my Audrey ficus.  
\- During your plants mists you can stay 1 or 2 sprays of neem oil in your stay can to prevent gnats and not have a stink.  
\- Get a fan and run it to circulate the airflow of the room which will keep the gnats out.  
\- Dorn overwater your plants and even bottom water when possible.

To add on to this post I also found that you NEED to use mosquito bites they work great and eliminated all my gnats entirely.
