Gnat Off!???

What is the situation with this stuff? Seems to be out of stock everywhere...is it banned or something?

I believe it is, Imidacloprid (sp?) is damaging to honey bee's.

I've used a bottle, doesn't work very well. And I'm sure I had gnats and not winged root aphids or anything.

The best way i have found to kill Gnats is Gnatrol WDG Bacillius thuringiebsis . Gnatrol kills larva in the soil.. But not the adults.. you kill the larva you kill of the Gnats.
its about $7 on the flea bay!! cheers!!

That's what I had worked out; Bacillius thuringiebsis.
Found some on feebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281827862974?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Meanwhile, it's sticky traps all round....

BTI mosquito dunks granuals

Spinosad

Promis

Gnatrol all the way, works better than anything else and you could eat a few tablespoons with no effect

Can't seem to find Gnatrol in the UK...

Diatomaceous earth and fly paper.

I use 2 Teaspoons per gallon of water the first time, then 1 tsp per gallon for another few waterings, usually knocks them out

I'd spotted that, cheers. I'm just not too keen on importing it though...
Going for the snake killer, it's still Bacillus thuringiebsis, and in the UK...
I also have some diatomaceous earth around, for my animals, so I'll sprinkle some of that about, that and sticky traps plus some Snake Killer, I think I'll be on top of them in short time

Best stuff i have ever used I called VectoBac. Not sure if you can get it overseas. Probably can. One drench and they will be gone

UK

your best best is "ant stop granules" spinosad based

mix it up with water and spray the plants you can also water with it or put it in the drip trays

it lasts 10 to 16 days it`s a bactria

only thing to watch out for is root rot if you flood your plant to hell with out

Captain jacks dead bug or montgomery would be the kinda usa equivalent, Ant stop granules will throw even a bad case of thrips back to the stone age it kills almost any insects

Nematodes can work well in the summer times too they like the extra heat

dont waste your money on brands just buy a bag of food grade diatomaceous earth

you can also prevent them next time by using neem meal in your soil mix

That's what I wanted to know...

Guys dont forget Bacillius thuringiebsis is 100% organic and does nothing to your plants.. just kills larva babies because they eat it!.. the adults are just annoying..
