Safe bug solution?

I was reading in another section that mosquito dunks will kill larva of any insect in your soil. It's also a natural occuring bacteria that is only harmful to insect larva it says you can use it in cattle watering bowls and with vegetation. Anyone have any experience?

Nope seen them in the stores... but doesn't any thin film that a larvae can't poke it's breathing snout through might work... like a veg oil.. I'm sure someone will have an issue with veg oil ffs lol
Does your water move? Cause a film may not work

bacillus thuringiensis kills fungus gnat larvae. Gnatrol is about $8.50 for a little package on Amazon or go to the local hardware store and get mosquito dunks. Same stuff.

Good call.

The mosquito dunks (BTI) are a good inexpensive option in the meantime.

Will look into these things. Thanks guys

If you're dealing with broad mites or russet mites any pest indoors look into a product called Venerate it is made by the same company that makes grandevo. It is a knock down product. Follow up with either grandevo or pfr 97 after you use the venerate. No more bugs ever. Here is a picture of what pfr97 dI'd to a spider

For control/ eradication of fungus gnats I put approx 3 inches of perlite on top of my soil. I do this with all my plants now since I found out about it. The gnats took 2 maybe 3 days to be gone and never came back.

You are basically smothering their food source. A thick layer of sand or non-clumping kitty litter also works.
Perlite is nice for a topcoat because it floats. Sand & clay tend to blend in if you water from the top.
