Tokenz: 262  |  Fungus Gnats Any suggestions on how to get rid of them in houseplants... I've done apple cider vinegar with dishsoap and repotting...I repotted yesterday, so that may have worked, but in the mean time, anything else anyone has tried?!? |

Tokenz: 262 | Re: Fungus Gnats That is my next step...going to Lowe's today...I just hope I don't kill my plants...I have had some for 15 years and I am a sap, but I would be upset if I killed them... Thank you for the suggestion, I hope it works... |

Not unless you drop agent orange, and kill everything  But that's kind of cutting off the nose to spite your face kinda thing. I suggest....Sevin Dust

Tokenz: 69,490 | Re: Fungus Gnats Boil rhubarb leaves up well and spray them on the plant. *Warning* It's highly poisonous and I don't know about the USA but over here it's illegal too. Never stopped me doing it as a kid though.

Tokenz: 262 | Re: Fungus Gnats  Illegal really?!? I just repotted ALL of my plants, I only have 11, but they are large and I did them all in one day, which took forever because I stripped them to the roots...I got Mosquito Dunks and sprinkled them on top AND put them in the water...I hope it works...if not I may try the Rhubarb idea...at this point I am desperate...I have had some of these plants for 15 years... |
