Hey All,

I'm having trouble finding something in-stock that seems appropriately priced. It might just be that I am not sure how much one dunk will treat.

Is this a good price ($44.95 CDN for a 20 pack): https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00L1JDSDU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2VYDBAL8BMVQK&psc=1

Any idea how many litres/gallons I could make and how large or a pot size I can treat?

Any other sources or product names to search for? for BT based Gnat treatments?

Thanks!

That's not a bad price at all. I use the bits at 15 grams/5gal for mosquito control in my bird baths. That should translate
to a drench for plants. I personally used Natural Guard Spinosad Soap in the quart sprayer when I had fungus gnats, mites and thrips.
Then I learned to water properly and ditched the synthetic nutes, no more pests so far, knock on wood. Organic soil auto grower.

Thanks for the feedback! I can't seem to find bits anywhere in stock so thought I could likely smash these up as needed.
I have some clones in small area outside my main space and I let that area get too warm without enough air flow and I seemed to get a hatch of them. Even with pushing the dry periods as long as I could stand and using sticky traps I just can't seem to break the life cycle.

I'm prepping some organic medium for this grow, and want to knock out the problem before I transplant and bring them into my room. I also wanted to have something on hand in case I need to continue the battle for a while.

That is a good price,I buy 6 pack for $25 cdn.I have 2-3 rings sitting in my 5g watering pail.24-36 hrs.They break up into little bits so every time i water some of the bits end up in the pot.So far about a month has gone by and they appear to be working.

That's what I've been after having a major gnat infestation earlier this year . Works great. Each of the donuts can be broken up into 6-8 pcs. I just pop a little chunk into my pots (coco) every couple of months and I haven't seen a gnat since. Very roughly i use about 1/8 of a donunt for 1-3gal pots, 1/6 of a donut for 5+ gal. Ive only gone through like 5 dunks in 6 months with over a dozen pots/plants treated.
