Hook
Tiny flies at your face? Classic gnat season after the indoor move—here’s the safe fix.
Steps
- Dry-down: water only when top 1–2 inches are dry; bottom-water to keep surface drier.
- Deploy sticky traps at soil level to catch adults fast.
- Biological control: BTI (mosquito bits/dunks) soak → use the water to irrigate weekly x 3.
Key Takeaways
- Break the cycle: dry-down + traps + BTI.
- Surface moisture invites gnats; keep tops dry.
- Repeat weekly for 3 weeks to catch cohorts.
Sprouty’s Quick Tip
Top-dress with a thin layer of coarse sand or LECA to discourage egg-laying.
