I resisted this at first because it seems cruel, but ultimately I had to do it because I also have so many.

You can get these on Amazon. They aren’t expensive.. just be careful not to stick another Plants leaf to it because it’ll tear off a leaf.

Also try bottom watering your plants. That’ll help keep the top of the soil dry so it’s not a good environment for them to live/reproduce.

I use mosquito bits. It takes a bit and you have to be consistent but that and the sticky traps works.

This is a good plan crushed up mosquito bites in the soil and sticky traps.

Thanks !!!!!

1 part peroxide 3 parts water. Kills them instantly and larvae too. Won’t hurt your plant. I have used it on my plants.

Perfect!!!!!!

### KJM kommenterade den 2026-10-05

These are probably fungus gnats and they breed in the top couple inches of soil that remains moist. Make sure you dry down your plant between waterings.

### Tracy Lee kommenterade den 2026-10-06

I have not had fungus gnats since I starting using mosquito bits. I use them with every single watering and I have over 200 indoor plants. Kills the larvae so you don’t even have to deal with the adults!

I understand the yellow traps are very effective. I’d say get a couple of carnivorous plants. They’d love those pest
