Yellow Sticky Traps
Recycled Glass Barrier
Also Effective: Other products may kill them but only these will keep them away.
Casey's Tips:
1. Fungus Gnats are often mistakenly called fruit flies. Two different things, though they do love rotting fruit.
2. Fungus Gnats are usually symptomatic of overwatering and/or root rot. Fix the cause first.
3. B.T. comes in multiple subspecies. Fungus Gnats are most affected by subspecies israelinis.
4. Sticky Traps are a great way to spot them early.
