Fungus gnats can be one of the most frustrating battles with house plants. Worry not though!

They can be beat!

We suggest these 3 organic methods for fighting gnats:

1. BTi  - (Bacillus thuringeniesis israelensis)

2. Sand Barrier

3. Sticky Traps

These organic methods are meant to be used simultaneously. You must fight gnats at all stages of life. There is no magic bullet! We're going to break each one down.

We call this combination the Gnat Fighting Kit, and it can be found Here.

BTi

• Life Stage: Larvae Stage
• How to Use: Mix 1-2tsp with your water, and water as usual.
• Frequency: As often as possible (ideally as prevention)

You can get BTi Here.

Sand Barrier

Again, these Gnat Control items are best used in conjunction with one another! 

Here is the Gnat Fighting Kit.

Good luck! And remember these tips to limit gnats:

• Gnats survive on the water pockets through the soil. Try and keep your soil on the drier side.
• Though they are annoying, they are usually not detrimental to plants!
• Gnats usually reside in potting mix. Make sure you're buying quality soil.
• Try and water from the bottom up. Here's a video on it:
