Re: Nats

Hi Stevenzdad, what's your watering schedule?

I used Mosquito Dunk to get rid of my gnat issue. About 1/4 of a dunk per pot did the trick. If you're in a plastic pot you could always try adding 1-2 inches of sand to the surface which will mean the gnats cannot burrow through. Alternatively I believe a neem oil solution can be effective!

Nats

Alternatively if you still have more of that soil and plan to use it further along; be it through transplant or other plants to be potted up, id recommend baking the soil in a tray at 200c for 45 minutes as this will kill any bacteria or nasty larvae that may be in the soil .

Fly paper? That's what I use and it does help its just really fucking stick, it got in my hair and touched my leaves because I had it too close but it does work.

 

[MrMango]

Fly paper is a good supplementary option but you've got to remember that the gnats are feeding on the plants root system, which left untreated can cause all sorts of nasty issues!

I let my soil dry out a little bit and use a fan blowing over the top of my soil to prevent them from flying around and mating...

I use sand at the top of my soil about an inch thick. They can't get in or out. Kills them inside the soil and rest can't get in to live

I water once every couple of days I have a pH and moister gage I use to
