Hey all, been battling a small fly/gnat infestation over here.
I believe they came in with the plants...
Does anybody have any ideas on how to get rid of the little buggers?
They are flying everywhere...
T.
get a bucket fill it with water and your choice of gnatrol or pyretherin concentrate
dip your plant bucket(not the foilage) in it two to three good times and let sit outdoors til dry
repeat the next day and then one week later
if you really want to be sure you can do it again a week after that.
We treat this way because when you treat you are only killing the larvae(or maybe its you are only killing the adults) leaving the others to come up and continue reproducing
either way you must treat a few times to completely eradicate all cycles of life, from the preggo females down to the morphing larvae
before you replace your plant with your cham, you will want to flush thouroughly
these fungus gnats are annoying as could be and damn fast but are pretty much harmless to everything except your plant roots
the main thing they are hinting to you is you don't have enough flow in your soil and your plants are probably not drying out fast enough enough. these bugs need water for survival so if your misting is frequent that is most likely your problem. so maybe a more porous mix that will allow better water flow, such as mixing soil and coco coir 80/20 ratio and maybe raise your plants off the floor
