Struggling with fungus gnats. Last week, I sprinkled a pack of Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (this product) on the top of my soil before watering thoroughly, then spraying the clover I'm using as a living mulch with neem oil (this product). Last time, I split one 0.2 oz packet between my four plants, thinking that would do the trick. It got rid of most of them, but there are still buggers hanging around. Today I noticed more. I believe the gnat larvae has caused/is causing leaf deformations on one of my plants.
So my question is - how much more can I apply? The product I'm using appears to be mosquito treatment for fountains, but I don't believe it would make a difference because the only active ingredient is Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis all the same.
How much more should I apply? The directions recommend one 0.2oz pouch per 50 sq. ft. of water infested with mosquito larvae. Would it be worth it to try dissolving some in my 2 gallon watering can? Can you overdo it with Bacillus thuringiensis?
