Crap!! I think I might have Fungus Gnat Larvae

[caregiverken]

:sweating

They came out of the bottom of the pot with the water when I was watering the indoor Moms.

They don't quite look like the larvae I have seen on the web

And I haven't seen any gnats in there at all

Most of them seem to be dead. but there was one wiggler

Here is a photo i just took of a couple
and another with my wife's camera

Or Root Maggots?

I just want them all dead...How do I kill em??

Do a soil drench with neem oil bro that will take care of the prob.imho they dont look like fugus gnat larva to me,so i cant answer what they are,but a soil drench will fix you up.

Hey KMK how much neem should one use per gallon in a soil drench?

When I see weird shit going on in the soil I get parinoid & kill everything in the soil with thishttp://i1118.invalid.com/albums/k620/MakinGoo/21a5987f.jpg
It's not organic but it's safe 4 vegetables.. 3 TBS. With a gallon of water & everything living In the soils will die.. The plants won't b affected at all.. U can get this at Home Depot Death 2 all bugs!!

haha yeah i just bought some the other day just in case but had no clue on the mixture...Our good man KMK will enlighten us.

 

[caregiverken]

thanks Goo. I like to go Organic. But these are just mother plants so I guess I could use that.

will it kill the good stuff in the soil too? (like the beneficial soil fungus) ?

I guess I could add more great white after the bugs are gone

Calls for 2 Tablespoons per gallon of water,but ive always used 1 Tablespoon per gallon.hit them and then in 14 days hit them again.

 

[MakinGoo]

Dog KM is correct!!! Here is the lablehttp://i1118.invalid.com/albums/k620/MakinGoo/1145e05c.jpg

I've always used the veggie mix.. But now that I read the lable again I think the 3 TBS. Per gallon is 2 spray ur leaves.. I've always used 3 TBS. & it always worked 4 me.. Damn I was mixing 2 much.. This is what I went byhttp://i1118.invalid.com/albums/k620/MakinGoo/7f0ae318.jpg

[caregiverken]

those dont look like fungus gnats to me. do a google search on fungus gnats. They have a black little head, and basically clear bodies.

If you want to go organic, you should be using BT. Go to yoru local nursery and get the liquid. Do a soil drench with it per instructions. It stinks, but it works.

Try microbelift for a preventative. Its the highest concentration of BTi I have found.

Whats the active ingriedient in spectracide?

 

[MrSmilehappy]

nematodes work well too at least they did for me
