    Default how to neem oil flush soil for fugus gnats

    my three plants have been in the blooming stade for 1.5 months. found flies in my grow room. later on saw larvae in the soil. I put fly paper which is working well. also put the potatos on soil. tried dish soap also. nothing worked. heard about neem oil. purchsed some called "Triple Action Plus" by ferti-lome. Active ingredient : clarified hydrophobic extract of neem oil 70 %. is that what i need or has all of the azadirachta been clarified out? And how do you do a soil drench?

    add an inch or two of sand on top of the soil. thats all you gotta do.......
    Want to tell someone they should do a search on the site/research more while you dont bother to address the question or provide links? please remember this-
    "some people learn better through interaction and discussion than studying on their own, like kids who do better in school with a tutor to interact and discuss what they are trying to learn. we dont all learn the same way."
    and then hit the back button.
    Thank you.

    Can't we all just get a bong?

    man I just went through a gnat problem for a while!! Finally got ride of them, used a product called "go gnats" which i'm not sure if it worked to well.. But then used "azmaz???" Not sure about that name, ill check when I get home for sure and let you know. So shortly after this product they are almost all gone. I used sand, stripes and neem oil and still couldn't get ride of them.. Another thing I did which could have been the biggest help was change soil, was using a local nursery brand and I think it was is the soil when I bought it.. So I would try changing soil and ill hit you back with the name of the stuff I used.. I had the problem BAD for months and months, this finally helped... Sand does help a lot just a pain in the ass, makes pots very heavy

    You can put your sand on sheets and bake it in the oven at 350-450 f for a short time to sterilize it.
