Do you have any Hydroponics stores near you? That might be a better place to look than the local hardwares stores. Of course if you don't and it's a real pinch you can buy something that is safe for use on fruit and veggies. Just make sure to use it as directed, spray with lights off to avoid burning, do it as far away from harvest as possible, and give a good flush before collecting end product.

Ya better get something fast. They will fuck your shit up. Trust me i know. Start by letting your soil dry out more before watering. Thats where they come from over watering. Get on it. They will hurt your plant. They will turn yellow.

If they get caught by the traps after hatching and getting their wings, then how do they get to lay their eggs in the soil :)

I just use pyrethrin spray, because I have other pest issues that sticky strips won't fix.

Like black widows.

Try Gnat off, it can be used as a soil drench ans always does the trick for me, Ill have a look wats in it (Active ingredients) and let you know so you can get something similar if you cant find gnat off.

If i just used traps it would be a continual problem...they're not all gonna get stuck on traps and will reproduce in soil again...but traps do help with controlling adults
