Flying spawns of Satan

So wanted to document some issues I've had with gnats! First off I didn't think I had to many. May of saw 2 or 3 within past month. Decided to switch layout of plants, under each pot was a colony with a full government and plans on concrete to take over my grows.

Immediately I took my shoe and squished all that i could. Went to store and bought full organic neem oil spray, I sprayed everything from dirt to walls. 3 days of that and two spray bottles of neem, no more gnats.

Next I will upload pics of damage from gnats.

Tried peroxide on one pot just to see. Soaked it three times with 50/50 peroxide tap. Let it dry real good then dropped a bean. It died immediately after coming to life.

That sucks. I know some people use a little peroxide when they soak seeds to germ.

Everything neem is good for.

Diatomaceous earth is very powerful in stopping the life cycle of fungus gnats.

Not when you have holes all around dirt.

Hate gnats. Mosquito dunks worked for me $10 local feed store. Will use again as preventive. Trying to decide need oil or spinisol? to keep around just in case I get other bugs.
