I’ve got several small houseplants in my home office, and I really like having them around. I’m still pretty new to taking care of them altogether, though, and we’ve gotten dozens of tiny house gnats now. I’ve put up sticky traps and tried to use some pest control in the potted soil. But would a small venus fly trap be able to help here?
Apple cider vinegar in a bowl with a drop of dish soap will be a lot more effective.
Isn’t this more for fruit flies? I tried something similar for fungal nats and was unsuccessful. What worked for me was yellow sticky pads and letting plant soil dry out almost completely between waterings.
This is the best plan. They are prolific breeders so traps are useless if you don’t also eliminate the favorable breeding environment.
Gnats fuck.
Ha! I was just typing up a comment about the same thing and only saw yours after I submitted mine. Yours is much more clear and concise. I suck at brevity, lol.
