Get rid of those annoying gnats TODAY!

I'm finishing up my first grow (five females each in 6" pots) they are 8 weeks into flowering and I'll most likely be cutting them in about 9-10 days.

Aaaanyway, I have been doing battle with those stupid mold gnats for a month; I tried fly-strips which killed a bunch but the next generation kept coming. They really didn't do any harm to the plants, they were just annoying.

So by following some threads on here, I went and bought a bag of all-purpose sand today at Home Depot ($4.97 in the garden section) and put a little over an inch on top of the soil in the pots. Make sure that the sand is half-packed down, and make sure that it fills all the way out to the edge of the pot (this is where they always come out when you water your plants). I did this a little over five hours ago, and there is literally two gnats left and I killed them hahaha.

I guess those little b*stards aren't adapted to life at the beach :bigjoint:
 
i want to put some ladybugs in my box, where can I get some, that doesn't have a minimum order of 1000?

Let me get back to you on that, I oddly enough have a friend who is an Entomologist haha. I'll see if he knows anything. But you're right, I never really see them outside. They're very elusive I guess haha
 
i was told you can pick them up a OSH in the garden dept. the should be a fride with them in there. there packaged like worms are in foam or plastic cups. im going down there first thing in the morning to see if i can find them my self, i need to add some to my cab. ill let you know if this is true or false tomorow....
 
i've seen them outside nearly every night for the longest time.... now that I need them i find NOTHING!! ideas?! where to find ladybugs?!?! no OSH near me so any other option....
