I have what I am almost sure are fungus gnats. Half of what I read says they don't bother plants, just eat rotting material in the soil, the other half say the larva will attack your roots. I try to let the soil dry out as much as possible, but it hits a point where the plant simply has to have more water, and the gnats never seem to take a hit from it.
I was curious if anyone here has used predators, such as Steinernema feltiae, Steinernema carpocapsae, or Hypoaspis miles to help control these gnats indoors? I'm thinking about ordering some, but would rather not spend $50-60 without an idea of how effective they will be. Also, I live in a hot dry climate, do you think they would survive shipping?
