Just a little sand is all it takes to wipe out fungus gnats at home, more effective than mosquito coils

Summer is here, and plenty of annoying little flying insects have come out, especially for those who grow plants at home, the little bugs flying around the flower pots are so rampant, so how should you prevent and control these fungus gnats?

These little bugs easily breed in flower pots because the organic matter in our pots is abundant, which suits the little flying insects living there. We can spread a layer of sand on the surface of the pot, about 1 to 2 cm thick. Sand is plain soil with no organic matter, and it effectively blocks the little flying insects from the organic matter, which is very effective

You can also gather all the plants together in a fairly enclosed space and light a fly coil, which is specially made for fumigating flies and works quite well. With one coil, all the little flying insects are fumigated to death. I have tried this method, and it is very effective

You can also place sticky insect boards where the little flying insects appear, to trap them all. You can also use some physical methods, such as spraying a bit of garlic water or chili water, but these treat the symptoms, not the root cause

Of course, we can also use insecticide to spray every place where there are plants. There are many methods, and you can choose the one that suits you
