I'm at my wit's end over these pesky fungus gnats that have invaded my home. They're literally everywhere! I've tried so many yellow sticky traps, I've watered my plants with a mix of water and hydrogen peroxide, applied neem oil, and even used mosquito bits. It's been months without any improvement—I've even stopped watering my plants altogether. I've seen people recommend Gnatrol, but I can't find it for shipping in the US. Can anyone help me out here?

Nematodes have helped me out a lot! I ordered some from Amazon that are specifically for fungus gnats. It took about two weeks, and I kept my yellow sticky traps up for the adults, but it worked like a charm!
One method that worked for me was sprinkling shredded tobacco on the soil surface and then watering it in. I used some crumpled cigarettes, but you can definitely use pipe tobacco too. If tobacco is too pricey, you can make a tea and water your plants with that instead. This really did the trick for me!
I'm going to try this! I hadn't heard of that method before.
Have you tried looking up 'fungus gnats' in the search bar? You'll find a ton of posts and tips on this topic from just the past year. I strongly recommend using sticky traps in combination with whatever else you try. Best of luck getting rid of them!
I've gone through a lot of posts but can't find specific product recommendations other than mosquito bits, which haven't helped me.
Could you share the link to the product you used?
