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 Plants님이 2024-12-13에 댓글을 남겼어요. Oh? I hadn’t even thought of going that route, thanks!! ### Wolfen 🐺님이 2024-12-13에 댓글을 남겼어요. 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. ### YinDeezy님이 2024-12-13에 댓글을 남겼어요. 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. ### sam님이 2024-12-13에 댓글을 남겼어요. highly recommend the peroxide!!! i had the same problem and it helped a ton. i haven’t had a problem since #### Abbi님이 2024-12-13에 답변했습니다. Same ### Pamela님이 2024-12-13에 댓글을 남겼어요. 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 Mama님이 2024-12-13에 답변했습니다. Where can you find that product? Can't find on Amazon. #### YinDeezy님이 2024-12-13에 답변했습니다. One popular brand is called Bonides Systemic Granules #### Pamela님이 2024-12-13에 답변했습니다. I got mine on Amazon. They had two sizes. ### 9s님이 2024-12-13에 댓글을 남겼어요. I use diluted cold pressed neem! Works like a charm for me. ### Simone님이 2024-12-13에 댓글을 남겼어요. 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 Plants님이 2024-12-13에 댓글을 남겼어요. 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 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
