USED CHEAP SOIL-GOT ROOT/FUNGUS GNATS September 6, 2010
Skywalker
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Yup, shouldn't have been such a cheapskate...
I snagged the local hardware store brand soil for 3 bucks a bag or so, and went about using it in some indoor container plants.
Well, well, well here comes Mr. and Mrs. Gnatzeepoo. They make themselves at home and before you know it I've got these things jumping, crawling, and flying around. It got to where it looked like the soil was moving. GAVE ME THE HEEBEE JEEBEES!
It was an infestation. So, I did what many folks do: NEEM THEM!
All the other remedies are a joke.
THe neem worked. It took about a week or so, but sure enough the adults (flying ones)disappeared. Then the hatching stopped. The roots began to grow back white and healthier. However, the young gnats were still around in the dirt. I wanted them gone NOW.
Your choices to kill these gross things AND NOT YOUR PLANTS boil down to:
A bunch of doses of quality neem such as einstien brand- Dyna Grow MEEm oil seems to be less effective, but cheaper.
It's pricey. Also, it works by sterilizing the gnats and they go away generation by gereation which can take a while because the females lay hundreds of eggs each, and hatchings/infestations can happen in in just days. Gotta keep up on the treatments, every 3-5 days at first.A larger jug is better than a teeny tiny 8 ouncer as you may have to treat a number of times especially with a cheaper brand. By the way, it's very stinky, and should be used with a "wetting" agent like dish soap. That allows the oil/water mix to happen. HERE'S SOME GOOD ADVICE:
DO NOT USE ANTI-BACTERIAL DISH SOAP FOR THIS PURPOSE! Use regular old green palmolive. You'll find out in a quick hurry that plants DO NOT LIKE ANTIBACTERIAL SOAP. IT CAN KILL PLANTS LIKE BAM!
Hit them with a soil drench of BTI, a bacteria found in CHEAP misquito dunk rings (can be found in garden centers/online for approx 15/6 pack of rings;label says harmful to humans on the card/package I saw), and VERY EXPENSIVE powdered forms online that are intended for horticultural use unlike the dunks. Be ready to bust out your visa if you take that route! It works by killing the larvae/eggs.
OR USE GOGNATS- This stuff killed them- Dropped them like a sack of potatoes! They came out of the containers/soil DEAD when I watered the next day. It did indeed take a couple of doses. It's best to hit them with the GOGNATS the first time, and then a second time 3 days or so later. That will kill the newly hatching bugs that you may have missed. It may take more doses, but you'll their numbers drop drop drop, and your plant should bounce back, putting a large grin on your face. I give it 4 stars because it is taking more than just one dose to knock them out completely.
GOOD TIPS:
-ADD 1 TSP/GAL HYDROGEN PEROXIDE TO NEEM, OR REGULAR WATERING TO KILL FUNGUS IN DIRT CREATED BY THE GNATS. IT's A GREAT THING TO DO UNTIL YOU GET YOUR PESTICIDE OR NEEM.
IF FUNGUS GOES UNCHECKED YOUR PLANTS WILL YELLOW< WILT< AND IT's GOODNIGHT SALLY!
-GOGNATS CAN BE ADDED TO NUTES
-CAN BE USED IN A SPRAY FOR OUTSIDE OF PLANTERS WHERE BUGS RUN TO WHEN DIRT IS TREATED
ALSO CAN BE USED AS A PERIMETER SPRAY- BUGS OF ALL KINDS HAT THIS STUFF!
-PLANTS SEEMED TO LIKE IT. NO STRESS AT ALL.
-NON TOXIC, AND KILLS ALL KINDS OF BUGS!
-SMELL IS PLEASANT! UNLIKE NEEM! GOGNATS SMELLS LIKE A CEDAR CIGAR BOX/HUMIDOR, AFTER ALL, IT"S MAINLY CEDAR OIL. THE SMELL GOES AWAY IN ABOUT 2 DAYS, AND ISN'T OVERWHELMING AT ALL.
DON'T BE CARELESS!! DON'T GET IT IN YOUR EYES!
 Good Product, Bad Vendor service. August 16, 2010
L. Williams
I rate this review 1 star only because of the vendor (Flora Hydro) and not product. FH has not so great customer service and shipping problems. They erroneously shipped my item to an undeliverable address, resulting in having to wait 2-3 weeks to receive the item, since they wanted to wait for the 1st shipment to return and process, then re-process the new order. However, I asked them for a refund since it was taking so long, which only then did they re-shipped the order, ignoring my refund request non-the-less. If I did not prompt for a refund I would actually have had to wait for the entire return/process/re-ship, which would have been 1-2 weeks (according to FH), totaling approx 4 weeks.
The product itself has work fairly good so far.
Effective but be careful July 25, 2010
Kenneth R. Austin
To give a good background of my situation first: I had a very bad gnat infestation. I have 4 large size pots near each other at one side of the house and at the other 2 more large size pots. I'm growing raspberries, blackberries, 2 kinds of tomatoes and bell peppers. The gnats were not only all over the plant soil but it got so bad they were seen all over my house on all 3 floors, far away from the plants. I first tried the gognats direction on the bottle but it didn't seem to have much effect so I increased the potency based on other people's reviews on this site. That did seem to significantly put a dent in the gnat population but after doing 2 treatments my tomatoes look to be in worse shape. They are over 5 ft tall so I would say about 5-10% of the leafs look bad. It doesn't look significant enough to kill the plant but be careful. If you increase the amount of gognats in a watering give it time for the plant to adjust before you try another treatment. I only waited 3 days. Currently my gnat problem isn't fully gone after the gognat treatments but it is allot more manageable. You can't expect any insecticide to kill all bugs as some aren't on the plant when its being treated. I also got several safebrand sticky stakes. The combo of gognats reducing the larvae amounts and the sticky stakes to eliminate the adult gnats, my situation is finally back to normal.
 takes a while, BUT... July 9, 2010

... after a couple of weeks of mixing this stuff in the water that went to my plants, the gnats were virtually gone. It's got cedar oil it and I rather like the smell of cedar, but flies hate it. They used to make chests out of cedar to keep bugs out, so this idea has been around for a while... somebody just decided to bottle it up! I highly recommend if you have a gnat problem.
 Ok for control but...... July 2, 2010

Works for control but does not rid you the Knats !!! I tried a whole bottle and overall I would not recommend for final solution
