Destroyed Fungus Gnat Infestation

One word--well two--Fungus Gnats. Springled a thin layer of these underneath all my top-watered house plants, and--combined with Zevo to kill the adults--the plague of Fungus Gnats is over. This stuff is awesome. No smell, and not yet sure how long until I need to replace. But so far so good.Ver más

Fingers crossed it will work- I'll update.

I haven't tried these yet but found them by watching a YouTube video. One of my plants must have come with a gazillion larvae eggs of fungus gnats. Lucky me!! I bought and plugged in a Zevo flying insect trap on Monday, July 6th and today, July 15th, it is completely covered in dead gnats and ready to have a new cartridge put in. I'm hoping the mosquito bits will get rid of the rest but I have to wait another day or two to water. They are easy to use and the price wasn't too bad. Video and package say you have to apply 3-4 times before seeing results.Ver más

It got rid of my bad fungus gnats

I bought this because I had fungus gnats really bad in my indoor plants. The directions said it would probably take 3 weeks to fully get rid of them and it did. It was a little bit of a pain in the butt to soak them for 30 mins and then deal with the bits but once I figured out the best way to do it, it was much easier.Ver más

WORKS But Best When Used…. FINAL UPDATE!

This does work very well for fungus gnats, but I believe this may work best when used with a combination of products. First of all, I can not guarantee elimination if you use these alone for the gnats (maybe it does work alone, but I tried this as a last resort) as I used a combination of the following: First of all, for gnats I HIGHLY recommend using a “top dressing” that will cover the soil completely. I used a combo of sand and small quartzite gravel/volcanic rock (for anything edible I don’t suggest using sand - only use sand for ornamental plants and sand that is silica free/“play sand”). Make sure the dressing is at least 1 inch thick on top, but if possible the thicker the dressing the better. This will eliminate the majority of the gnats alone! I thought I eliminated all of them with only the top dressing and those yellow sticky traps, but I noticed a few stragglers so I added this to the repertoire. I was a bit hesitant to use this at first because of the warning label (it’s required by law!), but based on my research I felt comfortable using it. The main ingredient, “BTI”, stands for bacillus thuringiensis israelensis, which is a type of bacteria that is naturally occurring. The studies I’ve read have shown no serious health consequences for humans or animals (in some rare cases there was irritation to the skin/eyes but no long term serious health consequences). I would never use any product that puts my health at risk (and most importantly the health of my animals!), but if you’re still worried do your own research! To be extra (paranoid) safe I water my plants away from my animals and wash my hands thoroughly after use. Make sure you measure the amount correctly!!! This is vital. Also, when making a “tea” for gnat elimination, the suggested brewing period I find is too short. What I do is make a mix in my watering jug and let it sit for at least 12 hours. Then I stir it very well and apply. I have used it 4 times and the gnats are no more. I’m going to continue applying a few more times to be sure. I am hoping this will work for thrips as well (from what I have read it does). If this works for thrips I will update my review (Trust me when I say the gnats were an easy enemy compared to thrips, ha! Count your blessings if you’re only battling gnats!).THRIPS UPDATE - I do believe this works on thrips as well, but I’m not 100% sure yet. I have one pot that I should have changed out the dirt to help eliminate them, but honestly because the size of the plant it would be a headache, so I decided to leave it as is and do the following: First I added a top dressing of sand and rocks, then everyday for a few minutes I would do a quick examination of the plant and smash any thrips I found, I removed very sickly/damaged foliage, I also added sticky traps to get the ones I missed, then I applied the mosquito bits “tea” once per week (apply to your normal watering schedule if it isn’t the same as mine). I did this for 4 weeks and I have yet to find any more thrips; My sickly plant looks completely healthy now (I believe it’s been about 3-4 months since I completed treatment)! I am being cautiously optimistic about this though because their eggs might be dormant, but I will provide a final update once I believe I have won this battle (or not lol).FINAL UPDATE - So shortly after my last update my mom brought a plant home…. That was infested with thrips. Ah…ha ha ha ha…. *screaming at the top of my lungs* THANKS MOM! Thankfully they didn’t spread much. I restarted my battle as per above. It has been a year since my battle first started with thrips and they are NO MORE. I’m CONVINCED enough. How you wonder? Because I reused the SAME dirt that definitely had their larvae in it for several new plants (I know, I’m COMPLETELY mental haha) and there has been ZERO thrip activity whatsoever (the dirt was infested from a year ago). I’m totally convinced this also works on thrip larvae as I read in previous studies. Just follow my directions on thrips above. Was the battle worth it though? Probably not, to be honest. I would have been way less stressed if I just tossed the plant out and started over, but I hate giving up. If you have time on your hands, or are as nuts as I am, go ahead and become a plant saving warrior!

These work, don't kill the good insects and are cheap protection.

1 Month Review: While these have not totally eliminated mosquitos, the reduction/mitigition is really noticeable. I simply cut large holes in a couple of milk jugs, painted them black, then added water and the Bites and set them out in shady areas. This product is not instantaneous, and I started my regime after the first hatch of house mosquitos and Asian tiger mosquitos were already out. After three weeks, the reduction was noticeable. There are some interesting and low cost DIY mosquito traps on YouTube, and I am currently assembling a couple of those for for use, and expect even better results when combined with Mosquito Bites. So, you can either hire a service to spray a pesticide, or try a more targeted approach. Your call!Ver más

Probably will be a great product – if you have a whole team to work with it.

This is the most highly recommended product to eliminate fungus gnat larvae in the soil. Across the Internet, stellar reviews and product pretty much guaranteed. Here’s why my review drops to 3⭐️. This product definitely for the avid gardener, not for the hobbiest in an apartment building with a deck and some container plants particularly delicate fuchsias (even though product recommended for fuchsias as well). Product instructions very hard to find among all the disclaimers and safety warnings. Font so incredibly tiny that even a 25x power magnifier couldn’t read the instructions – had to take a cell phone camera and then enlarge the font to read the instructions as a photo. Once the instructions were found among 10 or so paragraphs, was overwhelmed – instructions are very complex – needing a “nylon“ to “filter out the granules“ and then discard the granules. But the worst of it was– couldn’t open the bag – bag like Ft. Knox. Couldn’t even open the bag with 2 sets of pliers. So have to wait until somebody can come help open the bag to initiate first treatment. WOW! Product is probably going to be worth it in the end – but right now don’t feel the end is ever going to come! Just be prepared to have a team work with this product– or you have to be a professional landscaper or perfectionist home gardener. Good luck!Ver más
