Gnatrol and Dunks are the same Bacteria. If you grind up Dunks, you can water it in the same way. Gnatrol just saves you the grinding.Gnatrol has obsoleted Dunks at my house. Boom! Boom! Out go the lights! This is the only treatment that I have observed gnats fleeing soil when applied. Two gnats in three days on sticky cards as opposed to dozens on cards each day previously. Same basic makeup as Microbe Lift. I mixed 1 teaspoon per gallon which is recommended for “light” infestation and I feel my herd was more than light. Extremely fast which I did not expect.

it is thick tan liquid inside of a bottle inside of this canister![]()
Are fungus gnats even bad? Do i need to worry about these guys??![]()
Thanks @paraordnance !! I have neem oil spray- apply to soil? Strength/frequency? Also just put out some bowls with cidar vinegar to trap/drown the adults...

They will not kill your plants, but the larvae do feed on the roots. They also are considered a carrier of pathogens. They are no good for your garden. Plus the adult gnats get stuck in the trichomes when you're flowering. I suppose it won't kill you if you smoke a few of the fuckers, but it's still pretty gross.Are fungus gnats even bad?

As long as there are still adults buzzing around they will just repopulate in like a week. They lay a shit load of eggs, and mature quickly.I wonder if microwaving or otherwise heating/steaming soils to kill things first, but would need to start from scratch with the beneficial microbes that way...
You can top dress with nice thick layer of neem seed meal they hate the smell of it more then I do. You can also make a spray out of habarero peppers it kills on contact. Heating the soil up to a temperature that would kill the bugs would also kill anything beneficial in the soil which is not a good thing in organics. Predatory mites would be better since they wont mess with the good bacteria and fungi in the soil. You could bake the soil in the oven and kill off everything then add bennies back to it, but i would not put it in the microwave the metals in the soil will arc if there is enough of them.
I was referring to using neem oil, which kills adults on contact. Not neem meal. I have zero experience with neem meal. I have also heard get things about the Diatomaceous earth. Luckly I have never had to use it yet .

If you look closely I didn't quote you but JavaCo about neem meal. I have experience with both, just sharing it here with others
