Mosquito Bits
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- When I came home to the gnat apocalypse, I bought some nematodes and mosquito bits. I used both in the next watering (soaked them through), then watered as normal with bits. The problem disappeared overnight.
- I use a combo of mosquito bits with every watering and sticky traps, might also help to bottom water for a bit and/or remove the top layer of soil. The mosquito bits mostly helps with the larvae
- with that many plants i would definitely use mosquito bits or predatory nematodes.
- Mosquito bits work. They attack the larva so it takes time to see the end result.
- Agreed. Mosquito bits are super effective.
Cons
- It's granules that are sometimes pressed into products like Mosquito Dunks, or Mosquito Bits. Both of those are widely available.
- mosquito bits (hard to find where I live since apparently there are rules stopping Amazon from shipping them to my city)
- the mosquito bits are annoying to use and also stinky in my opinion haha.
- Mosquito bits smell terrible and I wouldn’t want to smell it every time I water.

Buy a bag of Mosquito Bits and make "tea" out of them, then water your plants with that and add some to the soil bag. ... I had a severe infestation about two years ago ..., used this method, and been gnat free since then.

I feel like neem oil and mosquito bits are the things I’m seeing most of for bug remedies.
Mosquito bits + hot water. Keep this for 5-6hrs then strain the bits n pour this water in affected plants as part of regular watering. Keep using the yellow sticky traps. This treatment should effectively kill both soil larvae n adult gnats.
For me, what worked was a combination of mosquito bits, beneficial nematodes, and sticky traps for monitoring.
