Tools and Hardware Reviews of GoGnats: 16 OunceCustomer Review: USED CHEAP SOIL-GOT ROOT/FUNGUS GNATS Summary: 4 Stars
Yup, shouldn't have been such a cheapskate...
I snagged the local hardware store brand soil for 3 bucks a bag or so, and went about using it in some indoor container plants.
Well, well, well here comes Mr. and Mrs. Gnatzeepoo. They make themselves at home and before you know it I've got these things jumping, crawling, and flying around. It got to where it looked like the soil was moving. GAVE ME THE HEEBEE JEEBEES!
It was an infestation. So, I did what many folks do: NEEM THEM!
All the other remedies are a joke.
THe neem worked. It took about a week or so, but sure enough the adults (flying ones)disappeared. Then the hatching stopped. The roots began to grow back white and healthier. However, the young gnats were still around in the dirt. I wanted them gone NOW.
Your choices to kill these gross things AND NOT YOUR PLANTS boil down to:
A bunch of doses of quality neem such as einstien brand- Dyna Grow MEEm oil seems to be less effective, but cheaper.
It's pricey. Also, it works by sterilizing the gnats and they go away generation by gereation which can take a while because the females lay hundreds of eggs each, and hatchings/infestations can happen in in just days. Gotta keep up on the treatments, every 3-5 days at first.A larger jug is better than a teeny tiny 8 ouncer as you may have to treat a number of times especially with a cheaper brand. By the way, it's very stinky, and should be used with a "wetting" agent like dish soap. That allows the oil/water mix to happen. HERE'S SOME GOOD ADVICE:
DO NOT USE ANTI-BACTERIAL DISH SOAP FOR THIS PURPOSE! Use regular old green palmolive. You'll find out in a quick hurry that plants DO NOT LIKE ANTIBACTERIAL SOAP. IT CAN KILL PLANTS LIKE BAM!
Hit them with a soil drench of BTI, a bacteria found in CHEAP misquito dunk rings (can be found in garden centers/online for approx 15/6 pack of rings;label says harmful to humans on the card/package I saw), and VERY EXPENSIVE powdered forms online that are intended for horticultural use unlike the dunks. Be ready to bust out your visa if you take that route! It works by killing the larvae/eggs.
OR USE GOGNATS- This stuff killed them- Dropped them like a sack of potatoes! They came out of the containers/soil DEAD when I watered the next day. It did indeed take a couple of doses. It's best to hit them with the GOGNATS the first time, and then a second time 3 days or so later. That will kill the newly hatching bugs that you may have missed. It may take more doses, but you'll their numbers drop drop drop, and your plant should bounce back, putting a large grin on your face. I give it 4 stars because it is taking more than just one dose to knock them out completely.
GOOD TIPS:
-ADD 1 TSP/GAL HYDROGEN PEROXIDE TO NEEM, OR REGULAR WATERING TO KILL FUNGUS IN DIRT CREATED BY THE GNATS. IT's A GREAT THING TO DO UNTIL YOU GET YOUR PESTICIDE OR NEEM.
IF FUNGUS GOES UNCHECKED YOUR PLANTS WILL YELLOW< WILT< AND IT's GOODNIGHT SALLY!
-GOGNATS CAN BE ADDED TO NUTES
-CAN BE USED IN A SPRAY FOR OUTSIDE OF PLANTERS WHERE BUGS RUN TO WHEN DIRT IS TREATED
ALSO CAN BE USED AS A PERIMETER SPRAY- BUGS OF ALL KINDS HAT THIS STUFF!
-PLANTS SEEMED TO LIKE IT. NO STRESS AT ALL.
-NON TOXIC, AND KILLS ALL KINDS OF BUGS!
-SMELL IS PLEASANT! UNLIKE NEEM! GOGNATS SMELLS LIKE A CEDAR CIGAR BOX/HUMIDOR, AFTER ALL, IT"S MAINLY CEDAR OIL. THE SMELL GOES AWAY IN ABOUT 2 DAYS, AND ISN'T OVERWHELMING AT ALL.
DON'T BE CARELESS!! DON'T GET IT IN YOUR EYES!
