I’m having a gnat problem and was wondering if nematodes are safe for the plant They’re coming from other plants. is there an organic way to prevent and get rid of spider mites?!? I found some on my ficus, it’s on the opposite side of the house but contamination is scary, thanks!

Hello Here's some tricks you can try. For fungus gnats water infected plants with 1 once of 35% Hydrogen Peroxide to 5 gallons of water. The extra oxygen drowns the maggots of the gnats. For spider mites mix, Isopropanol alcohol 1 once to 1 quart of water, and a few drops of dish soap in a spray bottle. Tilt the plant please. The plant can get drunk, and look all wilty for a day or so if you get too much alcohol on their roots. The alcohol dries them out, and the soap gets in their lungs and drowns them. Good Luck. Chuck.
