Addressing small insects quickly and effectively?

Dealing with tiny insects indoors. I went with the most easily available option to me (Triple Action Neem Oil by Southern Ag) and it works really well in my vegetable garden. If this doesn't seem to work, what are some other options I should use? Vegetative stage.

To be honest. I've tried everything Cannacure.. lots of other pest. But once they start laying eggs and you got a high RH environment. So it just takes 1 fruit fly, spider mite to lay up to 50-200eggs. So, I've found getting fruit fly traps and anything long and sticky. You can cut up place up and down nodes. Hang the fruit fly traps near your lights as they tend to fly up to the light and extractor fan pulls them up close to that when they wee. Anything crawling. You need to lace your plants nodes and all areas around the pots. Set traps so they have to walk on to the trap. So push soil up around the edges so they gotta talk awalk over them. There's a ton of stuff you can do But seriously letting your top soil dry out. You can do a few simple water feeds from the bottom. And then scoup up any dry soil, as it'll have larva in it. And once it gets wet again the larva trigger again if only freshly laid. So, fruit fly traps. You'll get packs of 40 you'll see them on my diary Gnats and dealing with them I go into depth. But, in general the stickies will catch most of them. Good luck.

and whats important, they maybe lays eggs in oother places in your room too, so when you will finish this season, and your room will be empty, push some ozone to room, to kill that eggs too.

for me neem oil never worked. catch 1-2 insects, take them into seomething, and go to next agriculture store, and say, they attacked your tomatoes. they will give sth what is actually works - i saved two times in this way my plants...

Also. Wipe back of leafs. Make it hard for any crawlies to move around your garden. So defol and so on and get the sticky yellow traps and dry out your soil.. feed from the bottom just water. If you have to fert feed. Make sure push a hole apart and pour in 1 point in the middle and fold the dry soil back over the wet. Keep ventilation up and RH low. Just enough feed/ water to just keep it going for a week. And you should be able to catch them. Good luck pal

Don't fall for the neem oil trap... it's pretty ineffective! If the insects are leaving little white spots on your leaves, I'd go with Anonymous2022 and tell you to get either some Dr. Zymes Eliminator or some Spinosad - both are organic and both will kill all stages of an insects life... eggs/larvae/adult. They can be used at any stage of growth right up to the day of harvest if need be (and you might also REALLY like this stuff on your vegetables)... The only caution is to spray just before lights out and spray the entire plant - tops/bottoms of leaves. If the insects are actually chewing holes in your leaves, then you're going to want some BT (bacillius thureingenisis) which is available at any garden center ... again, spray just before lights out, the bug will take one more bite from your leaf and decide to eat elsewhere - but will go off and die instead. And again, this is a life-saver in vegetable gardens! Good luck!
