I've really gotten into plants recently and my collection has grown from a couple to 49 in just three months! However, I'm dealing with a frustrating problem: soil gnats. I really want to take good care of my plants, so I'm looking for the best way to tackle these pests without spending a lot of time or money. Also, if I just leave them alone, will they get worse or eventually go away? Right now, I'm using those sticky traps that catch a lot of them already, but I need a more effective solution.

Mosquito bits are the way to go! They work wonders for killing gnat larvae in the soil.
Another great option is Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (like mosquito dunks or Gnatrol). If you can find it in a liquid form, it's super easy to measure and apply when needed. Definitely worth a try!
Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely give those mosquito bits a shot. I need to get these gnats under control.
