What are your thoughts on the peroxide and water mixture? Was told today it’s a game changer after just one dosage!! ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/JbEBmEj6uLrAHuHeTRZIVAdRJOv-4CiYMyjFeF2nlsk/mtynV3GFSWCWWVy-Oqdemw.webp?size=large) ## 13件のコメント ### Ezzeldin Yaqoubさんが2024-12-13にコメントしました Get butterworts which are carnivorous plants that are very efficient at capturing gnats and they dissolve them to absorb the nutrients from them and no need to replace them like the stick bug trap your using. ### Poochie’s Plantsさんが2024-12-13にコメントしました Oh? I hadn’t even thought of going that route, thanks!! ### Wolfen 🐺さんが2024-12-13にコメントしました The peroxide mix would help, or mosquito dunks. If you're looking at a watering option. I primarily use predatory mites and nematodes and it's made a huge difference. Just make sure to keep treating as their life cycle is approx 2 months. And the watering will only kill larvae. ### YinDeezyさんが2024-12-13にコメントしました One reason that may be causing the fungus gnat issue is potting medium that is staying wet for too long and isn’t getting proper wet / dry cycles. 1\. Adjust watering frequency to let the medium dry out more between waterings 2\. Use a chunky potting mix that dries out faster 3\. Increase air flow 4\. Increase light These should help address the root cause of the issue. For prevention, you need to attack both stages of the life cycle. I would recommend beneficial nematodes and bonides systemic granules to kill the larvae. You need to treat your entire collection at the same time. Yellow Sticky traps or zevo electric fly traps for the adults. I use nematodes with every watering and do not have issues with fungus gnats with my indoor plants. Good luck. ### samさんが2024-12-13にコメントしました highly recommend the peroxide!!! i had the same problem and it helped a ton. i haven’t had a problem since #### Abbiさんが2024-12-13に返信しました Same ### Pamelaさんが2024-12-13にコメントしました The yellow sticky things only get the gnats flying around. Gotta get what’s in the soil. I use Systemic Houseplant Insect Control and works wonders. #### Plant Mamaさんが2024-12-13に返信しました Where can you find that product? Can't find on Amazon. #### YinDeezyさんが2024-12-13に返信しました One popular brand is called Bonides Systemic Granules #### Pamelaさんが2024-12-13に返信しました I got mine on Amazon. They had two sizes. ### 9sさんが2024-12-13にコメントしました I use diluted cold pressed neem! Works like a charm for me. ### Simoneさんが2024-12-13にコメントしました I used the yellow stickers to get the adults. Then, i added 4 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide to 2 cups of water and top watered the plant the first time I did this and from that point I bottom water all plants with this mix. I got rid of gnats in a month ### Poochie’s Plantsさんが2024-12-13にコメントしました Thanks for all the suggestions!! Looks like I got some wiping out to do and will keep you posted as to what I find that works!! --- _Plantaコミュニティ (https://getplanta.com)。閲覧はどなたでも可能です。投稿、コメント、いいねをするには、Plantaアプリをダウンロードしてください: https://getplanta.com/download_
