How do I get rid of them?! They are scurrying around on top of my soil and I suspect hurting my plant.....they are OUT OF HAND! I have about 4 weeks left till harvest and am growing in a stealth coset setup. Can I get lady bugs or Praying mantis......these nats are fast and hard to catch.

Please help!:-|

Every time I get a chance I smush them too. They seem to have grown rapidly in numbers the past week.

I hung sticky tape in the grow box but it hasnt caught ANY of them.

I also layed down some duct tape around the base of the plant (sticky side up) where it seems the majority of them are, but they just walk all over it without getting stuck. :(

place a small bowl with about 4 oz. beer near your garden,or orange juice both work better than fly strips. if you still have gnats a few days later add a second bowl

not the grocery, but your hydro store will have it, so will lots of gardening centers... and if your in the states, even like an ace hardware carries the stuff...

yep what lumberjack said....as for aplacation spray the dirt lightly an spray the leaves lightly on both sides....when i say lightly on the leafs i mean so that they dont even drip the neem oil....use it very sparingly..
