does water and peroxide actually kill flies and not my plant?

skamindustries · Jun 20, 2007

i have some flies in my soil and im sure i got a bag of soil with them fuckers in it. anyways i heard and read on here that a capful of hydro-peroxide will kill them and not my plant. they are tiny little fuckers, i mean i thought they were fruit flies at first but not having a microscope or zoomable digital camera its hard to see them... i know i gots to kill them soon or they will reproduce and eat my plants...they seem to be going under the soil like fucking ants so please help me out....thanks a mundo everyone!

get some organocide, its cheap and safe and kills a wide variety of bugs including your gnats it's also a fungicide, and it has never caused my plants any problems at all...only down side is it's 95% fish oil and stinks like salmon eggs but works awsome..the active ingredient is sesame seed oil

They are gnats not fly's. If you can't find the organocide, use something designed for fruits and vegtables.

HA HA HA HA

I PUT 1 TO 2 CAPFULLS PER GALLON ONCE A WEEK FOR GOING ON 9 WEEKS AND AH..... LOOK DEAD TO YOU?

Now I am not saying that the H2O2 does not harm good micro organisms, but it airs the roots and keeps fungi and such out!

question of how diluted the H2O2 is, if you use household 5% one and dilute it once more to .005-.0005% it won't corrode the root much but stronger solutions will. and if it can kill fungi and mold in your medium it sure will kill the useful bags and fungi strains too. funguses are important in the N cycle in soil so you really should kill those. :roll:

Thanks for that. Have you used Pyrethrum and does it change the taste or smell?

I use 3 % H2O2 (diluted) and love the results

jpng92 · Jun 23, 2007

I use H202 also but am using liquid ferts in soil. Doesnt matter if all life killed. Seems to work well.

WrldWidRadio911 · Jun 23, 2007

Tell me about it

skamindustries · Jul 6, 2007

again, thanks for everyones imput, i value it muchly. ive gotten some hydo-peroxide from the ole pharmacy and have added a half capful (peroxide cap) into a 4l milk jug full o distilled water, shaken the shit out of it for mixing and am waiting untill the 8th (every six days i water her, sometimes more because we had a +30C heat wave and my apt is nuclear hot). i gots me some frozen water bottles beind the 2 fans in my room, but when its litteraly +26C outside, its hard to keep the apt cool.

Yeah I use 1 cap HP per every gal water I use, hasnt hurt mine
I dunno about killing fungus gnats cuz I cant keep em out, but it dissolves dead tissue and oxygenates your roots.

does water and peroxide actually kill flies and not my plant?
