Trying to combat fungus gnats 🪰
So I just bought mosquito dunks for the first time and am wondering two things before using-
1. I use distilled water in gallon jugs. Can I just leave a quarter of the dunk in the water jug for future use?
2. I read somewhere that you shouldn’t butt chug with the dunk water. Is this true? 90% of my plants are butt chuggers 😭 #fungusgnats #PestControl

So there are a few ways to fight fungus gnats and the larvae
Mosquito dunks like you said or bits and you put them in water and let them soak up for a few hours or over night but watch your sensitive plants VERY closely over the next few days
Cinnamon keeps the adult gnats away but it suffocated the eggs
Gnat traps their yellow sticky tabs you can stick in your pots

If you use all the water you can leave the dunks in the jugs otherwise take the out after an hour since some plant are a little sensitive to it’s full strength
