so I noticed little nats in my soil. I have some ladybugs but what is a easy way to rid of them? Im trying to stay real organic.Please help.
 
Spinosad. I tried the lady bug thing. no real results.... i released 4500 in the tent and left them closed up in there for over a month. still have issues.

Probably thrips though.. if so be careful. they will eat your leaves.
 
are they fungus gnats?

Fungus Gnats do not live in the soil. They lay eggs in it and the larvae live in it until they grow up and fly away. The larvae look like tiny white worms, not like gnats.

First step is to identify the problem.
 
I used a product called mosquito dunks, the BT mentioned above is the active ingredient. I also did a soil drench with some neem at 3ml/gal. Have only seen a few gnats on my fly strip since doing this.
 
I just put a layer of sand or vermaculite about 1-2 inches deep and the little bastards can't get in or out and die off in a few days btw cheap soils always have mad fungus gnats...
 
Thankz flaming pie I don't have every day acces to a computer so some of these ansers are just a run around but yeah thanks for a little help +REP.
 
You are very welcome. Do it once and hang up strips. Do it again a week later. Should solve the problem completely.
 
I had gnats and i picked up some stuff called gnat nix. Serves the same purpose as sand or vermiculite but it is what me local hydro store recommend for organic growing. It's pulverized lava glass or something but it is safe to touch but don't breath the dust when top dressing your pots. Put it in 2 weeks ago and haven't seen a gnat in one week.
 
From what I have heard H2O2 kills not only the larva of the gnats but all the beneficial bacteria in the soil as well. Do some research before deciding on that solution.

Good Luck,
