After researching to find out what all these fruit-fly-like bugs were, I found out about fungus gnats and searched for natural ways to eliminate them. I tried repotting the top parts of the soil (some plants I completely repotted-but then I wasn't sure if the soil had eggs in it), I used lemon juice in bottle caps to trap the adults, and I tried letting the plant soil dry out for as long as possible, but the plants were suffering and the gnats kept multiplying! I then decided I needed poison, and bought different types of flying-bug sprays, but nothing worked, and I worried about spraying stuff in the air with my fish tank nearby.
My boyfriend said if I didn't get rid of the gnats, he would throw away all the plants :(, so I looked for solutions and found out about a product called Gnatrol. However, I believe Gnatrol is now unavailable, so GoGnats came up in searches and I took the plunge (I wish it was priced a bit lower). I mixed it with water (maybe more concentrate than I really needed, but I wanted to kill those bugs) and drenched every plant with it. I put all my plants in the bathtub and poured the mix through each plant until it flowed out the bottoms. Immediately there was a decrease in the amount of gnats, but a few were still flying around the next couple of days. So on the third day I did a second drench. And now, more than a week later, the fungus gnats are COMPLETELY GONE and my plants are healthy and perky.
My boyfriend and I are so happy!! It was a great purchase, and I still have a lot left over if I ever have another infestation of bugs (I think it can kill more than gnats). I also love how it's safer than toxic pesticides. Definitely a good choice!
