Try a no-pest strip or two, depending on your grow area size. I got one and I haven't seen anything more near my plants since. They cost around 8 bucks with tax, and I got mine at ACE Hardware, though your local supermarket or homedepot/lowes should have them.

Look like fungus gnats ? I battled them and you can try all the pest strips you want those will only kill the adults if you can see quite a few of them then chances are they already had a fuck fest in yoru soil and planted their larvae which will start feeding on your roots.

Yet you aren't going to share your solution? Just going to share with everyone that you had the same problem? Doesn't seem very helpful.

I have & use Predatory Nematodes. They help prevent soil dwelling pest. They come in a sponge form & you water them in. They are great. Hope that helps. Peace :peace:

I dunno, they look like the same gnats that were bothering me a while ago. An inch of sand covering my soil worked just fine.

I'll reiterate, looks like the same gnats I had. Inch of sand. As an addendum, fuck off with your smart-ass attitude, you fucking idiot. Not only were you a cock, you were an incorrect cock, so now you just look like an all-around giant douche-bag. Try taking your own goddamned advice once in a while.

Just in case you're interested in another opinion, I say fungus gnats. I've been growing peppers indoors for 15 years, and I've been around the block a time or two with both fungus gnats and aphids.They both LOVE pepper plants.

My solution would be to put up some no-pest strips to catch the adults, and treat your soil with some good old H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide). Go with two tablespoons of 3% (the same stuff you get at the drug store in the first aid section) per gallon of water. pH the solution, then give the plants a good flush.

That's just one guys opinion though.
