Fungus gnats vanquished with peroxide and neem oil

My fungus gnats are gone lol I’ve been dealing with them for the past 2 weeks. I don’t know where they came from. And at first I’m like it’s okay it’s a few then it became a issue. A BIG ISSUE. They were in my coffee, flying in my kids mouths. They wanted war.

So this is what I did! I stopped watering the plants that were infested and i gave all of the plants a double shot of peroxide. I left a bunch of sticky strips on the soil. waited a couple days then sprayed neem oil in soil and all over the plant. Forgot about them but I noticed they calmed down by the end of week one and are completely gone as of today! Like I don’t see not even 1. Thank god I was seriously tired of sharing my drinks with them!
Shot of peroxide? Straight peroxide? I’m dealing with gnats as well
@aneysaaaa yes! I took a shot glass if the plant was in a 6inch pot or smaller I gave it one glass and if it was bigger I gave it 2.
Whoa! 😮. Great job going on the offensive! Kicked A$$
Holy cow I’ve never seen anything like that. Never seen that many.😬
I will consider using this technique. Typically I put an open bottle of beer near the infestation. It takes about 1 week to get all of them.
@aneysaaaa Don’t use Hydrogen peroxide straight. It will chemically burn your plant’s roots. Dilute it with water. Valeri used 3 teaspoons (which is one shot glass 🙂) of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide to one cup of water. You can water your plants with it, when they’re thirsty or you can put this hydrogen-Peroxide water in a spray bottle and spray it on your plant’s leaves.  I hope you will successfully kill ALL of those annoying gnats too.
Wow! Look at all the gnats those sticky traps killed. You fought a good fight and won. I hope your family will find peace; no more annoying gnats.
Wow!! Looks like we need to #gnatporn on here 🤣👀😳😳 That some serious gnats What ya think @RJG @sarahsalith @KrunchyWrapz @KDkat3 🤣
@UltraKoreanfir 😂😂😂 thank you! @BambooLover I think I caught more simply because I laid it on top of the soil instead of staking them.
@ZingyMuskmallow I need to try this! @Ada3 thank you, I’m currently enjoying a coffee right now with no issues 😂
@Boymom-plantmom 😂😂 my kids said “eww that’s gross mom”, and I was so proud 😂
