I have these tiny knats that are very annoying in my indoor garden Area. Any tips on how to get rid of them?

Put some cheap beer in a tumbler. Hang the end of a flypaper roll inside the glass.

Watch the bugs get stuck and die.

He is only 14 or 15 so mom or dad would have to supervise that one. LOL.

Substitute apple cider vinegar for the beer? Works here in KY! Peace, Wayne I just use a home made funnel out of paper & put it into the top of a 20 oz soda bottle...they find there way in & can't find there way out...done dealio! Prbly several will be needed, but cheap to make!

cover the soil of each container in Diatomaceous Earth, and if you are not eating any of plants you can drench the soil with Bifen before you apply the Diatomaceous Earth

Fungus gnats? Drench the soil with Merit

Henry, did those saguaro seeds I sent ever germinate? Don't keep the soil too saturated when they sprout. Good luck with all this.

No they never sprouted, I'm not sure why, the soil was moist too

Henry, try this...grab a handfull of starting soil, then squeeze very hard!!! If drips come out, it is too wet!! Just damp, is what you want, not moist!! Peace, Wayne
