Mosquito Bits = No More Gnat Flies!
Hundreds of gnat flies had surrounded my indoor plants, and I was in a desperate search for a "quick fix". Truth be told, in my experience, there is no such thing as a quick fix. If you want to get rid of your gnat infestation, you are really going to have to buckle down, be patient, and be diligent with your treatments. During my gnat infestation odyssey I had tried countless remedies, but none did the trick. In comes Mosquito Bits! The 8-ounce bottle comes with more than enough bits to treat the thirty potted plants that I have and after using Mosquito Bits in conjunction with other products for 3 weeks, my gnat fly infestation was gone! During my infestation, I used the following methods to try and rid my plants of gnat flies: - Cups of Wine/Juice/Beer with lemon soap (only killed small percentage of flies -- but couldn't hurt) - Yellow Fly Paper (more than anything provided a visual of the dispersion of gnat flies around my plants) - WorryFree Pest Control Powder (awesome at wiping out adult flies) - Fan (to dry out top layer of soil) None of the above mentioned methods worked - however, when done in conjunction with Mosquito Bits, I was able to conquer the swarm of gnat flies that had taken over my precious plants! Where the above mentioned methods failed, Mosquito Bits succeeded. In retrospect, the methods mentioned above only killed ADULT gnat flies - which is why I absolutely LOVE Mosquito Bits. Using these little bits, in conjunction with other products let me eradicate my gnat fly infestation because I was killing them at all points of their life cycle simultaneously, without giving them time to rejuvenate their population. If I had to go through this ordeal again, I would have started my treatment with Mosquito Bits sooner. From my experience, the best way to go about treating your plants with Mosquito Bits is to: 1) Sparsely sprinkle the bits around the top soil of your plants (I used a density of ~7 bits per cubic inch) 2) Before watering put 1 teaspoon of bits in watering can and let it sit for 5 minutes 3) Water plants as needed 4) Ensure fan stays on plants after watering to dry out top layer of soil 5) Repeat steps 2-4 every time you water your plant That cap on the Mosquito Bits bottle actually came in handy during application - it has one side for sprinkling, and the other has a wide opening for a spoon (see attached picture). I'm very happy with the results I got with Mosquito Bits, and it was well worth the buy. If you have a gnat infestation, and are on the fence about buying this product, buy with confidence - this stuff really works.
