How to Identify and Get Rid of Fungus Gnats
ADVERTISEMENT
As someone else said Hydrogen Peroxide 3% 1 part to 3 or 4 parts water then water when soil is dry will kill them, however if you have a lot of plants like me 45 is too expensive and they jump from plant to plant. If you only have 2 or 3 that should get rid of them.
I'm trying this right now! I've had fungus knats flying around my apartment and I noticed they are mostly on one plant.
I'm setting them all outside to dry out and spraying the dirt with various things
Tanglefoot on white or yellow glossy cardboard will trap any insect.
A mix of 1 part hydrogen peroxide to 4 parts water will kill fungus gnat larvae. Allow soil to dry then water with the solution. Hydrogen peroxide promotes better root growth due to an extra molecule of oxygen and it can kill harmful bacteria and fungal growth. Misting will kill the gnats.
use 1/4 cup 3% hydrogen peroxide to 1 cup water, and water normally. this will kill fungus and gnats on contact.
