If you need to fully saturate them, then I'd make a preparation at least equivalent to the container size.Spinosad as a drench is effective? How much for 5 gallon plants? I have tried watering with peroxide but find these gnats just keep coming back.
How much of the mosquito bits to use per gallon of waterMosquito dunks/ mosquito bits. Works slick as shit
Thanks alot. Happy growingI rasp off a few crumbs into a bucket of water and mix. No chlorine allowed. I also sprinkle in my mix as I make it. Dunks contain bacteria that feed on the larvae of the gnats in a cork carrier. Over 2 weeks or so, the gnats will progressively decrease to nothing or nearly so. Maintaining treatment will make you happy.

A lot of people who use what they call "living soil" have soil mites.
Those people claim they are beneficial and do not harm the plant.
I find them on and off and believe they either come from the worm castings or let themselves in.
Recently I started growing lettuce under T5s for personal use (I swear it's personal and for legitimate health reasons). Well this created a haven for gnats, and since I won't spray anything on my lettuce they are just going nuts. So I located an older mother plant who I knew had these soil mites living in the container, and took samples and spread them throughout my entire plant collection to see if they would keep the gnats down and possibly prevent aphids in the coming weeks.
Any thoughts on using these guys for pest control?
oh fuck yes they are. I get dizzy removing them. I seal the room off like you would for a P-Bomb, open the package and place the unit wherever they are congregating the most, leave it in there overnight and then remove it and exhaust the room for a few hours before going back in. The dunks you speak of are Nematodes correct?If you are consistent with dunks, you will win the gnat war period. I have a deep suspicion that Hot Shot Strips are toxic as hell.
