      • Sticky traps and let your plants dry back more that usual. Fungus gnats love moisture.

        • Mosquito dunks or bits. Usually they only sell one of these in an area but they are made from the same stuff. The bits/dunk release a beneficial bacteria into the water and then you have water that kills the larval state of the fungus gnats.

          • I could find bits so I crushed up a dunk and watered it in top. I also spread diatomaceous earth on top. Started to bottom water ACI trays. Top water once a week with recharge

            • Hey I’ve been typically on the same page used mosquito bits on fresh soil then rove beetles, beneficial mites and nematodes from there unless something gets out of balance I have had no significant issues with that. Was looking for the conversation I saw this morning to paste it on here to credit @jmystro with the very thorough breakdown of information on BTI, won’t catch me using that any longer on my plants… Apparently the little buggers can produce a build up of certain toxins that can get into the plant and be consumed by us. Thanks again @jmystro You’re a scholar and a gentleman!
