Just try some organic pesticides, make sure to spray the soil and the bottom of the leaves as well. :hump:

I've used it for years in fish tanks. Just started using it earlier this year around the place to control bugs. It slices them up. Just don't create a cloud and inhale it. It's nasty like rockwool to inhale. Other then that the stuff is like tiny sea shells.

I have cloves of garlic all around the house plants inside and out. It dosen't seem to help with the afids on the roses but they are way off the ground.

3 things First and most important fly traps all around the grow area for a buck for 3 of them you can't beat that deal. 2)neem oil in your soil for killing baby gnat eggs, this will not kill the gnats on contact but once eaten they will die(they climb into your soil and plant eggs and feed on your precious roots) you can get this at any hydro store or headshop 1) stick out a bowl of soapy water and they will dive in but not out! peace bro good luck!

MG soil here too. Had millions of gnats in my place on my first grow. On my second grow I bought some Organocide from Home Depot and didn't see the "not recommende for indoor use"

Uh, they mean that.

It killed the shit out of any gnats, and it put a vapor in the air of my apartment that made me weep like a bitch for the next 2 waterings.

I guess there's some organocide for indoor use somewhere. I didn't check the bottle close enough.

You can layer the top of your soil with sand (not from the beach). The gnats crawl into the soil to lay their eggs and they can't do this with a layer of sand over the soil. It disrupts their reproductive cycle and they die off. It's the larvae that can give you problems because they feed off of the roots. Best of luck my friend.
