not shur about the product you want to use, but Aza-Max will work on a large variety of pests flying, crawling, and sub-terannian. can be used as soil drench or foliage. also a good preventitive.. oh yeah its also safe to use durring all stages of vegg and flower

I used Azamax its a great product but my fungus gnats came back problem is those fuckers land on your soil and fuck like rabbits dropping larvae deep into your soil. Gnatrol works better than azamax. Azamax is a great product but better to use before planting a pre treatment. The only thing I have found succesful in getting rid of fungus gnats is predatory nematodes a microscopic ring work that attacks the larvae making those things disappear in 48 hours. And the adult gnats wont even go near the soil because to them its like landing in a pool filled with hungry ass sharks and alligators. Mostt good hydro shops will have these. If not google and check.

oh also for those gnats before i had a thripe problem solved by azamax, and i used Hot Shots vapor release. its a little plastic container you can set near the plants, or hang it. protects the whole room, no odor and the eaiest to use. open bag, then hang it up and leave! less than $10 at home depot.

Bever ive done what your avitar pic is doin, make me want to take a pic now lol

mosquito dunks are a very cost effective gnat larvae killer. for soil you would want to break one up in a gallon jug or w/e, let it sit a while, then pour some on your soil, safe for roots, same active ingrd. as gnatrol

Yeah I have some that I havent used, the nematodes took care of all the larvae and the stickies gott the adults, I have heard people tell they drop the dunks in the reservoir too if you are doing hydro that is.

Yup i used the hot shot strips and they did kill off a lot of the adults but they stink and I wouldn't want to use it in flower, something about that chemical vapor getting absorbed by my buds doesnt sit well with me, but I have a friend in Cali who hangs like 4 of them in his grow room and loves them they will only kill the adults though they wont kill the larvae burried inside your soil. I'm here for you dude I just came off 2 weeks of battling these shit heads they wont destroy a crop but they are annoying as hell.

If you grow indoors with Co2 you can blast 10,000 PPM for 15 minutes and kill off every living bug in your grow room just vent that room out before you go in or you will die too..

you need to get rid of them, they will harm your roots, use the stuff the guys recommended, its a bacteria that kills the gnat larvae (baccilius thuringiensis or something like that)
