if they're fungus gnats, the babies are eating your roots and your plant will really suffer. white fly sticky traps are cheap and can help with killing pregnate mothers and such. Otherwise just neem so the bugs can't flourish!

i find therapeutic joy in killing each invader by hand....personally.

very cheap...very time consuming.
Well worth the efforts....keeps me inside and out of trouble with the local law enforcement

don't get me wrong...when i finally tire out i cheat
...just turn on another fan right next to my pots and let it suck and chop up the tiny devils as i sleep.

they don't fly so good under gale force winds and it seems and the survivors appear to busy clinging to what they can to eat much of anything


it's been working very well so far for me....can't say for others
kinda makes a mess on the walls....have to waste time cleaning that off, but meh.
having only two plants probably works in my favor
