From what I understand, the adult fungus gnats aren't the problem - their larvae are. They live in the soil and eat your roots. I suppose if the frog ate all the gnats, then ate their offspring as they emerged from the soil, that would solve your problem.

But, a frog in the grow room doesn't sound like a good idea to me... under the intensity of an HPS light (or even cfl's) the frog would dry up quickly and perish, wouldn't it? I'd be afraid the frog would bring in other types of unwanted fugus / mold / lord knows what and you'd end up with bigger issues.

I can imagine the fog making a mistake and jumping and hitting the HID light and getting stuck to it...the resulting explosion of light and damages that would ensue....


How would you keep the frog in the growing area its own habitat. Not a bad idea if thought out right though. +reps for the idea now that I think of it!
