@DrMcSkunkins Have you looked at OG biowar?
My question is, if they are root aphids why are they coming out of my drain in a rarely used bathroom. Omw to bleach the drain now...
Not sure, I had a spider mite outbreak in the veg room 2 feet away from the flower room and I have been trying to keep things quarantined until I get things cleaned with vinegar and peroxide(walls etc), then I will get the girls out and inspect them further.@DrMcSkunkins DO you have little mini maggot worms or little red beetle crawlers in the soil?
I've been on the horn with the gals down at Arbico and they have *never* steered me wrong. It looks like it could be the ticket for you here.Im pretty sure I have RA and some type of mutant poison resistant fungus gnats, I also have spider mites and either thrips or earwigs are munching the edges of leaves...
I am just going to buy this and add them all, will the spinosad and neem already in my soil kill nematodes?

Oh... crap. Well the good thing here is that a lot of people have had experience with them and can help advise you. If you can, catch the ones coming out of the drains, I have a feeling those are an actual Sciarid fly, not an aphid. I see no reason why the two couldn't or wouldn't coexist, either.Mine look like they have a merged thorax and abdomen...
I might cry:crying2:

Hopefully the scanmask combo pack will take them and their friends out
I agree, the pics of a sciarid fly look exactly like the ones I have cought and smacked. I thought they might be aphids because they were black. Thank you, hopefully two of the triple nematode pack will get them.Oh... crap. Well the good thing here is that a lot of people have had experience with them and can help advise you.

I really hope those nematodes work!
RAs that I've seen are definitely not reddish, they are BLACK. How do their wings lay on their back? When I hear reddish small fly, I think fruit fly. Of course, growing up during the whole Mediterranean fruit fly thing put them in my eyes. Let me go do a quick search on the wings of FGs vs RAs. They look awfully similar but their life cycles are very different.
OK, I think I got the wing thing switched, it looks like the FG wings come together like praying hands, the RA wings lie flat.
But again, reddish suggests another Sciarid fly, not any kind of aphid with a flyer cycle.
Yes mosquito dunks is the way to go. Crumble a dunk and mix it into your medium.3 to 4 weeksThats just BTI mosquito dunks, no?
I believe ALL store bought EWCs have gnat larvae.Yes mosquito dunks is the way to go. Crumble a dunk and mix it into your medium.3 to 4 weeks
later no more gnats. It's that simple and if you use it at the beginning no fungus gnat problem period.
One dunk can supply enough to do many potted plants.

I have used Mosquitos Dunks (2% BTi) and found them to be a waste of money. I prefer to use MicroBelift which uses (8%BTi) but if you can afford it, gnatrol (20%+) is the way to go IMO. The 2" layer of DE is key though.
