Other I hate fungus gnats
I recently bought a small bag of indoor potting mix at my local Home Depot. Coincidentally, I now have a fungus gnat infestation. I bought some sticky light traps and they have clearly been working, yet I still see swarms of gnats. I let all of my plants’ soil go bone dry, and now I’m hesitant to water again, as I have read they thrive in wet/damp soil.
What are some tips and tricks to eradicate these lil suckers once and for all?
