gnats

hey guys the past few days i've been noticing a bunch of gnats flying around my grow area and they are even landing in the soil. i havent seen any actually on my plants but i was just wondering if these little pests will ruin my babies. i've set out fly traps and have caught a bunch of them, but they seem to just keep multiplying. I really have no option but to deal with them because i cant move my grow area. what should i do?

Determine if they are gnats or winged root aphids.

Gnats, use gnatrol.

Aphids, well that's another matter, perhaps imidacloprid, fipronil, flonicamid. Only indoors though as this shit causes CCD. (Neonicatoid colony collapse disorder)

little black suckers? sounds like fungus gnats. i've never had a huge outbreak, but the few i had really annoyed me. as mentioned, gnatrol works well. i've tried neem, but it didn't work well for me. i usually use sticky traps, and soapy water.

Are you providing them a nice moist environment for breeding? Overwatering? They hate dry conditions.

Sometimes they are really, really small chickens. You'll need a 30x scope to tell for sure.

Sticky traps will help, but it never hurts to hop on Amazon and order a sponge full of nematodes, between those, lady bugs, and praying mantis I never have to spray a single soap or formula on my ladies...
