Stay with the sticky traps as they'll help them not multiply even more. If you can get beneficial nematodes and do a few watering cycles that should do the trick - it may take a several weeks to get the infestation down. Once the nematodes have done their work minimizing the population growth continue to water using something like a mosquito dunk to prevent further outbreaks.

Beneficial nematodes and mosquito dunks (where available) should be available for purchase on Amazon if your local nursery doesn't carry them.

Thank you, I will definitely look into this. So I can get beneficial nematodes that are safe indoors? And what do you mean by watering cycles?

#### Josie's Jungleさんが2024-12-30に返信しました

Sorry for the late response...nematodes will just east the larvae, so they won't go anywhere but in your pot. That's why you need a few watering cycles (regular watering on schedule, not extra waterings) and the sticky traps to minimize the # of adults reproducing. It's a process, but you'll see the results over the few weeks of watering. ☺️

I use this on my houseplants in soil and it’s never failed me! Some people mix it into their water and let it sit overnight, I sprinkle it on top of the soil. Idk what type of soil/aggregate you use, but I also recommend switching to a semi-hydroponic like Leca. Some people like it others don’t, there’s pros and cons to everything! After I switched to Leca, I never needed to use mosquito bites!

Thank you, so how do I use this?

#### Bebe🌵🤍さんが2024-12-29に返信しました

Leca or the mosquito bites?

#### Plant\_Joyさんが2024-12-29に返信しました

The sticky traps are helpful to identify that there is a problem. To get rid of all the larvae under the soil (before they hatch and turn into gnats), mosquito bit tea is great! and it’s pet safe

I put about 2 tablespoons in a bottle squirter, then pour hot water. let it sit until it cools. then just water over soil

Spray bottle with some dawn soap and the rest with water.

Looks like they’re just fungus flies. I have had great success with watering affected plants with a one time 1:3 mixture of peroxide and water. Kills the fungus that the flies feed on.
