That is probably KEY to really winning the fight. I watched mine for weeks thinking they were some kind of Super Fungus Gnat, because I knew they looked different from what I was used to seeing (and still see, but now I've got the 'noia). Then, The Mystery Yellowing Event changed everything.Completely understand Seamaiden, I appreciate the feedback on your experience with the little bastards that's what I'm here for good bad or indifferent. ;)
I should add that I did spot these guys early when there was only 8-10 visible and I hit them yesterday with a H2O2/water mixture at a 1-4 ratio and added 1/2 inch of food grade Diatomaceous Earth to the tops of each plants soil . I did see a about 7-8 fliers/crawlers last night after giving the H2O2 and wiping everything down with 91% rubbing alcohol, but only 1 this morning. So I'm going to hit my girls again with H2O2 in a couple days, and I also bought some mosquito dunks just in case. So we'll see how it goes (fingers crossed), if anyone else has some advice on alternative methods to eradicate RA's any help would be appreciated.
I don't believe the dunks will do much more than cause an upsurge in fliers (the pregnant females), but IIRC Cap's bennies, one of the mixes, maybe all..? Anyway, he's got the same fungus as what's in Met52, but for a fraction of the cost.
