Gnats!!!!

During the past few weeks there started to be a growing population of little black gnats living on top of the Coco in the pots and flying around the garden. These are common in indoor gardens and they come with most cheap soil. Don't think they are harmless, they can damage your plants by eating the roots. Anyway to control them I am using MosquitoDunks, they are pretty non toxic as their main ingredient is Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis. Just leave part of the dunk in a bucket of water for a couple days, them remove the dunk and water the plants with the water. The mosquito dunks kill the larvae and eggs which feed off of the roots and doing one watering with it should control them for 30 days. For the adults I use sticky fly traps, just be carefull not to get stuck to them, because the sticky stuff is really hard to get off of skin and hair.

There are other methods to get rid of them, but this is the best way I've found.
