Fungus gnats are tiny flying pests that can harm indoor plants. They do this by laying eggs in the soil. Their maggot larvae will attack tiny roots of your plants. Here is a chemical-free and safe method to get rid of those flying dots of doom.

ps: This method is far better for your plants than hitting the gnats with a brick. :)

  • great advice and fun planting ideas in your videos. got e mail i won seeds from you in your last contest sent sase and list but have not heard back. ?? would be happy with any extra you have if you didnt have any on my list . keep up the great videos

  • @yessme1 I have never offered seeds as a prize in my contests. I offered shopping sprees. You maye have me confused with another channel. If you sent a self addressed stamped envelope, I have or will be sending lettuce, carrot, onion and tomato seeds. :)

  • My husband left one of those fly papers in the garage years ago and then I found my Schnauzer had it all wrapped around her. It was hard to get it out of her hair! I had to cut her hair because it was really messed up. LOL

  • @Angelofjusticia Oh what a nasty yet surprisingly funny situation as long as it's not me having to deal with it. Poor little Schnauzer. lol

  • So I came across your videos a few days ago. Saw that another one of my favorite channels was subscribed to you... I've dedicated the last few days glued to your channel. I've watch all the video from the beginning til this point. I love you channel btw.

    Just decided to write to say that I've enjoyed your channel. I hate that end some shows with a cliphanger though, especially since it's late and I'm ready for bed but I feel the urgge to watch the next video to find out what the surprise is...

  • @michaelayr84 LOL I gotta say I really enjoy these types of comments. You made my day Michael! Thanks. :)

    ps: I also have a channel called VoodooGarden. Pace yourself though. lol

  • Sticky Tape is addressing the symptom, not the source! I have a much better method. I will address this in a video soon, I hope you post it as a response here!. Remember we don't want bug carcasses on our flowers. Stay Trendy!

  • The sticky stuff will not solve the problem for long. Carnivorous plants have an attractant that continually brings them in. Check out pitcher plants, they are easier than venus fly traps to grow. Also a fan helps to drive the gnats out. Venus fly traps grow well in a bottle of your liking.

  • I have a gross memory of those those sticky fly papers. They were quite common in use in the 1960's along with actually using fly swats instead of insect spray. Anyway, I had a childhood friend (first generation Australian) whose parents were German. I happened to call around to their place around dinner time one night and they were all seated at the dinner table eating and they had one of those fly papers pinned and hanging from the ceiling about 6" from the middle of the dining table. Yuk!

  • sorry yes this was posted to wrong channel. my mom watches you also and has expanded her garden last year shes 83.

  • My bush beans attracts and kills these things!!!

  • Yea, I hate those fly paper things. Every one I ever bought got caught in my hair. Have you tried the paper cone in a glass trap? Or the vinegar soap trap? :)

  • a few years ago when gnats were making me crazy my dad came to the rescue. He told me just wait till evening when all the gnats seem to be landing and just vaccuum them up. It was almost like a machine gun just in reverse. It was fun sucking those little buggers up. In just a few minutes most of them were gone.

  • research nematodes...
