As someone who was being driven mad by fungus gnats…I figured I could be of some help to other plant peeps.

I have worked hard af to rid my plants of these pesky a\*\*holes. I have finally found what works and I continue to see less and less as the months go by…yes it has taken me months to rid my plants of them.

You will need a concoction of these little apples…yes they work and pretty well! I bought a pack of 4 off of Amazon. They come with a solution to squirt into the apples that draws them in. That solution will fill 4 apples just one time. After the solution fully evaporates I just create my own mix of 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sugar, some warm water and 3-5 drops of dish soap to refill them. Next, every time I water my plants I water them with mosquito bits - you can also use dunks if you prefer. Get the sticky traps! I bought a pack of 50 and I cut them in half to make them last longer! They work so well! Lastly, the Zevo traps work amazingly as well! The gnats are attracted to the light it gives off especially at night while they are flying around wreaking havoc and they wanna stop in somewhere by a light to chill for a sec…well now you’re stuck! 🤷🏼‍♀️  
Also, let your plants dry out between waterings and check for root rot as applicable.

Sorry for the dramatics, but they are sooo annoying. Iykyk.

Happy gnat slaying folks!

Such good advice! This honestly must be posted somewhere it won’t get lost so that everyone can reap the wisdom lol

Wrong thread but we should be able to "bookmark" certain posts, or at least filter posts to ones that we've liked/commented/created :)

#### Alyssaさんが2024-05-08に返信しました

Yes! That would be a great addition to the app, wish they made it that way instead of scrolling back

#### Succulent❤️Mamaさんが2024-05-08に返信しました

Thank you for posting this! I have been fighting those little buggers for a long time now too. I haven’t tried the solution but am doing the rest. Just started watering with mosquito bits today. Glad to hear I’m on the right track!

For fruit flies, you can also just refill the little apples with vinegar. I don’t know if that’s enough to draw in fungus gnats, but just wanted to let you know incase it is!😊

Thank you for sharing!! These gnats are driving me INSANE. I have never had indoor plants before so this is all new to me.

I made a big batch of mosquito bits water, hoping to use it as needed. Is this ok or should I mix a new batch each time? The water is stinky \& kinda like, slimy.
