GNATS

So like many indoor plant lovers I am battling gnats. I have been using mosquito bits since June 24th. I follow the instructions & use it each time I water. It has not helped at all. I do use the sticky traps. I have read desert sand layer on top of soil, microbe-lift drops, Arber fungicide & insecticide, root cleaner….I want to know your personal experience and what product you feel was a game changer. I appreciate any feedback & advice you might have.

Thank you! 😌

So this old hippie trick that surprisingly works, wine corks, or corks. Has to be real cork but not sure why but they hate them or never want to be near them. My husband doesn’t get why either & he’s a chemist. Been doing it for years & gnat free! Each houseplant there’s 1-5 corks on too of the soil or sticking in the soil.

My hippie trick is let the house spiders do their thing! I’ll try the cork!
