I've always wondered what would happen if you release a horse fly into the grow area? In the south we have horse flies, they look like a mosquito on steroids but they eat gnats, I watched one on my back porch the other night eat about 6 or 7 in about 2 minutes.

Thing is, I have never seen one product eliminate Aphids. At least not if there were winged flyers present. Even using Orthene to sterilize the entire area and all equipment seems to let a few escape. Of course my experience is in large grows, aphids might be easier to 100% cleanup in a smaller area like a tent.

Orthene isn't 100%
Imidacloprid isn't 100%
Flonicamid isn't 100%

Neither is AzaMax.

All are great components for plugging into an effective aphid control rotation imo. Especially with AzaMax being drench compatible.

I think you're referring to Dragonfly's.
Horsefly's eat only nectar & pollen ~ and of course the females will drill the fuck out of you given the chance.

Oh, and it was me with the thread title.
Nats / Gnats. I'm OCD about shit like that.

Mosquito hawk is a nickname for dragonfly's (that do eat mosquito's)
The crane fly is also called that sometimes, but they do not eat other insects.

I had a severe gnat invasion. Lasted few weeks. Got really annoying!!! I used a gallon jug of water mixed with tarantula liquid microbes from an and great white powdered microbes. They were gone in i think a week. Crush the dunks into powder and mix well. Also, i used high doses cause i was so frustrated n i rec doing the same. Crush up a few dunks n water em in. But my method def works fast!

I've got gnats also. right before feeding if I rake my fingers across the soil to level it out before watering Gnats come flying up out of the soil.

Please for the love of god can some one suggest multiple steps to cure this.

I've have sticky traps, (but ill get more). Which ones work best please and thank you?

Mosquito dunks I've try'ed that with no success now going on 2 weeks and there as bad as ever.

Not sure if I'm doing it right though. I water with gallon jugs aired out for clorine reasons. When i put the water in i break off a piece of mosquito dunks grind it up with my fingers into smaller BB sized pieces and drop it in the jug and let soak. Then pour onto the plant days later when time to water.

Still Gnats everywhere. Please help me correct my process, if that is the problem?

Or please make other suggestions. I need to do any and all soon to stop these critters.

I've also herd spraying the soil to create a layer off bug killer on the soil works as well. Any thoughts on that? If it does work please whats the best bug spray to use? when to apply and how often.

Once again please help and thanks for any suggestions or comments made.

the microbes attack the larva when the eggs hatch n kill em off. it works quick too. when i say invasion, the fuckers were in my girls face when we were in bed lol they were fucking thick!!! they were knocked off i wanna say in a week, i didnt even lay out yellow sticky traps! the flyers only live a few days. i dont know why more people with gnats try great white
