Flying insects

Thanks everyone! I just sprayed some Azamax in my tent and dome (cuz that's what I have on hand). I will keep the sticky tape up, try to improve my culctural habits and treat my soil before use again. I will access the situation in a day or two then order some Beneficial Nematodes. Thanks again for all of your expertise!

fungus gnats, nothing "fun" about them though. BTi or Nematodes work great in killing them dead. I like Nematodes and have used them a lot, the brand I get is Nemaglobe Pot Poppers, they come in little teas bags and you sprinkle them on the soil and water in. I know a few ppl who prefer BTi, all the same in the end, dead bugs, do what works best for you and whats available and cheep. Best Of Luck!

buy the cheapest fly poison. Take a cup, fill it with earth. Dissolve the fly poison in warm water and pour it over a cup of earth. Put it near your plants. Flies will crawl into the damp ground and die. A perfect trap without harming plants.

Gnats. Good watering regime , sticky traps and nematodes. I always go with natural predators. https://www.dragonfli.co.uk/collections/fungus-fly Find alternative in your country. In UK even amazon sells nematodes.

gnats.. they come with teh soil/ medium. You water -> they grow. A wet-dry cycle helps, if properlly allowing top layer to dry, but is not fool-proof. Bti is the way to go. The first month or so apply a top dress of "Mosquito Bits" or similar every 2-3 weeks. If confident there are no larva in your substrate, you can cease using it. I use it preemptively every time. Also after a transplant, as that's more unused substrate getting wet for the "first" time. You'll never see more than 1-2 gnats throughout the grow at any one time. it's super effective, which is rare when it comes to fighting off pests and pathogens. Basically anythign that has a larva cycle in the substrate will not survive this bacteria. It is 100% safe. it's been used on the food you eat for the last century or more. do keep the yellow traps up... killing from both ends of life cycle will help end the problem sooner. 2-3 weeks shoudl be cleared up after starting to use Bti. during a problem, i'd top dress 1/week, but preemptively using the product, once per 2-3 weeks is sufficient. if that brand for "mosquito bits" is not in your area, anythign with teh same bacteria will work.. i'll mangle the spelling but you'll recognize it if you see it -- Baciullus Thurgingensis or wathever... - "israelis" subspecies is the "i". "Bti" for short. Googling can verfiy everything i've said. No worries.. marketed to kill mosquitos, but definiteyl works on gnats too.. shoudl kill just about all larva in soil that you'll encounter.

Also i find that i only get fungus gnats when i use bagged soil. They like to hitch a ride in the bag to your grow room.
