@ComicalOxlip16 Hi Gigi! I use Microbe-Lift BMC you can get it at Amazon- you only need 6-8 drops per gallon of water and they will be gone in a week to 10 days! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿชด Good Luck!
Hello! For a budget-friendly way to handle gnats, you can try letting the top few inches of the soil dry out completely before watering again; gnats need moisture to survive and lay eggs. Another simple method is placing a small bowl of apple cider vinegar with a drop of dish soap nearby to trap the adults. These are effective ways to manage them without needing to buy expensive treatments. Hope Duchess feels better soon
Hello! +1 on the vinegar+soap combo.
Good luck ๐Ÿคž!! Enjoy ๐Ÿ˜!
@WholeTozzia73 @ComicalOxlip16 piggy backing off of this, you can add sand to the top layer, trapping the eggs below and cutting off the adults from the top!
