make sure its able to be used on plants you can eat,,,
Good luck

Of course, one photo is worth a thousand words...
I suspect gnats, they love the moisture...luckily, they're easy to kill
and easy to keep away.
spray once with an organic bug killer. I think you just spray into the enclosed
growing area, not right onto the plants.
don't have any standing water in your grow area...that is an insect breeding ground.
fresh water is fine.
one of those hanging 'pest' stripes, you know the one, was a little coil, now hangs from the
ceiling. that will keep away any stray insects...but, it's a 'preventive' measure,
to use 'before' the problem. don't use them to clear out all the bugs, it won't work.
and after the problem is cleared, to prevent it occurring again. hopefully, they'll
get stuck on the pest strip and die before they breed.

Mix 1oz of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide to 1 gal of water spray your plants and make sure you get the underside of the leafs. Also water your plant with this mixture then add 1" of sand to the top of your soil and that should take care of it. Also get some flypaper from the hardware store and hang in in the room to catch the bigger ones.

Guys, guys there is a much simpler way...just blow a fan towards the pot and they will be gone in a day or two. That seemed to work for me! (If there gnats) Let me guess, miracle grow organic soil? Thats what I had and I had all these fucking gnats everywere..then I added a fan...they were gone in a day

did they come back? because, I'm sure some of them found a peaceful corner to fuck in, then lay eggs or whatever they do.
I guess, what I'm saying is, just eliminating the bugs is nice, but the cause is what really needs to be eliminated...imo

Maybe...but from what he is saying he just has gnats. Don't nuke your soil/hydrosystem with a bunch of pest stuff for a little thing like gants. (And no they never came back)

A fan will not get rid of the bug in the soil and 3% Hydrogen Peroxide is not a pesticide!!!!!!!

Touchy! Sorry I was looking at a different post that seemed to be nuking the soil....just looking out for number 1 (the plant)!
