fungus knat larve


Question
Hi do you know what good insecticides are good for killing fungus gnat larvae they are in the soil of my drosera capensis typical thanks.

Answer
Hi Ean,

There are several products that you can use.  All of them are effective and are safe for carnivorous plants.  For now, start with an insecticide containing pyrethrin.  You can find it at any garden center.  Spray the soil generously.  You may need to spray again in 7 days to make sure the infestation was eradicated.  As always, follow the directions provided by the manufacturer.

For more information about insecticides, watch our video podcast on the subject:
