 Finally! Something to GET RID OF THOSE DARN GNATS February 28, 2010

I am so glad I found this product!! Last summer I moved into a new place with a balcony and I put a few of my potted houseplants outside to spruce up the space. I also bought a couple new plants from different stores. When I brought the plants in for the fall/winter and after repotting some other plants, I ended up with fungus gnats. I'm not sure if they came from outside, the new plants, or the potting soil, but they soon spread to ALL of my houseplants (about 8).
After researching to find out what all these fruit-fly-like bugs were, I found out about fungus gnats and searched for natural ways to eliminate them. I tried repotting the top parts of the soil (some plants I completely repotted-but then I wasn't sure if the soil had eggs in it), I used lemon juice in bottle caps to trap the adults, and I tried letting the plant soil dry out for as long as possible, but the plants were suffering and the gnats kept multiplying! I then decided I needed poison, and bought different types of flying-bug sprays, but nothing worked, and I worried about spraying stuff in the air with my fish tank nearby.
My boyfriend said if I didn't get rid of the gnats, he would throw away all the plants :(, so I looked for solutions and found out about a product called Gnatrol. However, I believe Gnatrol is now unavailable, so GoGnats came up in searches and I took the plunge (I wish it was priced a bit lower). I mixed it with water (maybe more concentrate than I really needed, but I wanted to kill those bugs) and drenched every plant with it. I put all my plants in the bathtub and poured the mix through each plant until it flowed out the bottoms. Immediately there was a decrease in the amount of gnats, but a few were still flying around the next couple of days. So on the third day I did a second drench. And now, more than a week later, the fungus gnats are COMPLETELY GONE and my plants are healthy and perky.
My boyfriend and I are so happy!! It was a great purchase, and I still have a lot left over if I ever have another infestation of bugs (I think it can kill more than gnats). I also love how it's safer than toxic pesticides. Definitely a good choice!

This stuff is amazing. I have a small potted tree in my living room that picked up fungus gnats somehow.
I tried all the remedies I could find online (the potato in the soil, rubbing alcohol in the soil, drying out the plant to try and disrupt the gnats' life cycle) and NOTHING worked.
I was very hesitant to have to resort to any sort of chemical or pesticide, especially inside my home. Needless to say, I was delighted to come across this product, which is really natural as opposed to chemical. It's made with cedar oil and it even smells nice, like cedar! I felt much better about using this "pesticide".
Overall, this worked amazingly. I was rid of the gnats and larvae worms after only one treatment. I did apply a second treatment as instructed, but I don't think it was really necessary.
I highly recommend this product!! I'm not sure how effective it would be if you have a really bad infestation, or if more than one plant is infested, but for me it worked great.

I was given a plant as a gift from a friend, took it into work, and unfortunately it came with some bugs. I made it worse by mixing it with my other plants and then over-watering from time to time because I was an amateur plant owner. Before I knew it, I had an infestation of pesky fungus gnats (I'm talking 60 or more per day on ONE plant) and I had successfully spread the infestation to everyone's plants in my department at work. Needless to say, we were told to kill the bugs or ditch the plants.
I looked all over and tried to find some info online on how to kill the stupid gnats. At first I thought they were fruit flies and bought some spray pesticide for houseplants at a local store, but when that didn't work and the gnats continued to get worse and worse, I finally figured out that it was fungus gnats I was seeing and not fruit flies. I tried drying the plants out to the point that I thought they might die, and the gnats seemed to get better for a short time, but they would always come back. I couldn't seem to interrupt their life cycle. I found an article on Gnatrol, looked it up, and came across GoGnats. I ordered it and did the initial treatment a little over a week ago. At first I didn't see much improvement, but after the second treatment I only see one or two gnats per day, if that. I read that it takes about a week for the adult gnats to die, so it seems to be working wonders. Unfortunately my paddle plant (succulent) didn't like the second treatment and I might lose it. Just be careful when treating cacti; they like to dry out between waterings and I don't think I let it dry out enough before i did the second treatment. I just got impatient because I hate the gnats so much.
Overall, I think this stuff works great. The only complaint I have is that the mixing directions are a little unclear. I tried using it as a spray, but the gnats lay their eggs in the top part of the soil, so the spray seemed ineffective. Then I just mixed 1.5 ounces with a half gallon of water and watered the heck out of the plants, as someone suggested here. Thank goodness for other people's reviews! I think my gnat problem is history, and there is plenty of solution left to use if I have another breakout. We treated 10 plants twice (smaller sized plants) and used roughly one gallon of water and 3 ounces of GoGnats, total. The bottle is still mostly full. This product seems a bit expensive, but it's worth it since you can treat so many plants with one bottle, and it's the only thing I could find that kills gnats. I saw some others mention cinnamon oil, but I wasn't sure how to use that.
It's best to prevent attracting the gnats in the first place, as they are a pain to eliminate. Check your plants carefully before you buy them. If you get a new plant, isolate it for a week or so before you put it out with your other plants. Don't over-water like I did; the gnats love dead roots and foliage.
A cure for fungus gnats! No kidding June 21, 2010

I'd read the other reviews but found it hard to be hopeful. I have lots of plants in my house and this situation just kept getting worse over about six months and a lot of chemical treatments. The worse was that the gnats loved my computer screen, and would hang out here while I typed. Bad enough that they killed 2 plants, they also messed up my screen when I killed them.
Anyway, I had tried a ton of products, some incredibly toxic, and nothing worked. But this stuff did. The directions say two treatments the first week, but the first one did it. It's been two weeks since then, and I haven't seen one of those things. And believe me, they were everywhere, especially on this screen. The rest of my plants may survive.
Thank you GoGnats!
