I have a serious infestation of fungus gnats in my flower room:cry: they are killing my plants what can i do about it Is gnatrol usable with plants within a week of harvest I also have some plants a few more weeks off. I want to put more of my plants into flower but must wait until i take care of this situation. I need help something hopefully quick my veg area is beyond maxed out and i need to get some more plants in there. I will buy something if need be but is there any way to get rid of these gnats with something i may have at home or can get at wally world? thanks in advance for any help

This is probably not the answer for you but, I had a small gnat problem a few grows ago due to cheap soiless mix that i should not have bought. I can't say if Cujo took care of the problem or if it was just the soil cause those pot only stayed for a week or 2 before they were done.

Lucky little bugger that Cujo is he gets the whole room to himself. I feed him crikets as well.

you may find mosquito dunks (look like little doughnut things) at Home Depot, Feed stores or possibly at a nursery. Float one in 5 gals of water for 24 hours and then use 1/2 of the water from the bucket mixed with your irrigation water. Fill up the source bucket...water with the solution in the 5 gal bucket on EVERY watering for a month. This will kill the eggs/larvae.

For the flying monsters (flying around laying eggs in the soil befor they die) find some yellow sticky/whitefly traps to snare em.

After 3 weeks all the critters should be dead....but I've learned to keep a dunk goin in my water all the time...especially if it's hot or you just replanted.

good luck

you can use alot of things but it will most likely "taint" the bud in some way or another. i would try a SHIT load of lady bugs. also crank up the co2 2000ppm if possible. dry ice if you dont have a co2 option. good luck.

i used the same thing... the only thing is you have to keep up on the spraying.... i sprayed once and then they went away... but a week later they came back stronger... so follow the label...

cheers
