Any good tips on wiping out fungus gnats? I put out sticky traps around the plants but I need a good solution for the babies. TIA

Get a fanbased electric trap... They suck at flying, so will easily be caught up in it. - For the larva, if you can get some diatomaceous earth and pour a tiny layer on top of the soil, it should take care of it, and pretty much any other pest landing on or burrowing into the soil. (diatomaceous earth is silica based rocks grinded into powder.. It's absolutely brilliant for pest control, as it enters every crack it can, and drains the insects of fluid. - I use it for everything pest related. lol.. Also, it's "food grade", and can essentially be eaten, but don't...)

I used Ortho home no pest strips in Canada in the us they called hot shot no pest strips. I put one of these in my tent and shut off ventilation and closed up holes so air wouldn’t escape the tent for 24 hours and these things killed every crawling or flying thing in my tent. I was battling spider mites for what seemed like an eternity and I have not seen a single one in 3 months since using the strip nor have I seen any gnats. Give it a try only $15 saved my tents 👍🌱

Get the yellow sticky traps that go in the soil—- sold on amazon and I second the Damascus earth, neem oil on leaves in veg, and the electric fan zapper. I had a huge infestation come in from some bad bags of soil. It took about a week, but the combo of all these nailed it!
