From 5 drops per gallon to 1-2 tbsp/gal? I use 80 gallons of water a week. That would get more expensive than the pantyhose

Lol if u buy the little things at Petco maybe. We used to go thru almost 100 gallons every 3 days and that's why I switched from gnatrol so I get it. The price will fluctuate but usually u can find a sale or coupon and get the gallon for 100-120From 5 drops per gallon to 1-2 tbsp/gal? I use 80 gallons of water a week.

Absolutely.
You can cut them up to size and tape sections around the rim/stalk, and put little sheets over each one of the drainage holes of the pots. Nothing but water gets in and out. Make whatever size sheets you need and stretch to fit. Cut slits to wrap the covers around the plants.
Ends up costing a buck for every so many pots depending on size.. Compare that to buying sticky traps and biological agents.. Its pretty much a guarantee, nothing in or out but water/nutes.. If I ever went back to DTW coco, I would just grow all my plants in doubled up pantie sacks, and poke the drip lines down in when trying them up. Never worry about gnats again..

lol ya man it definitely sounds like a good idea. Thanks for the link. Have to buy these online and give it a shot. Try one tent at a time. I don't think it would look too good if I walked into a Dollartree and went up to the counter with 60 pairs of pantyhose roflAbsolutely.

My first time buying was pretty embarrassing.. I had to look at every package in the panty hose isle to make sure I was getting the right sizes, let alone standing in line at the counter.. Had I known I could go to the dollar store..lol ya man it definitely sounds like a good idea. Thanks for the link. Have to buy these online and give it a shot. Try one tent at a time.

That's crazy I can't believe bmc isn't working for you guys! It's always worked for me and everyone else I know who's used it! Really weird.

I'm only on my second full week of using it. Most of the gnats are using the bottom of the pots where the holes on the sides are. So now every watering I drown them out from the top and keep the water in the saucer for 10 minutes. Then vacuum. Been using 5 drops per gallon but went to 10 drops today.
