Fungus gnats are tiny uninvited visitors that can affect your plants and seedlings.  Their larvae eat plant roots. They are attracted to wet soils.  I found this recipe online several years ago.  I use it indoors as well as in the garden.

To make this recipe you’ll need:

  • 1 cup 3% Hydrogen Peroxide
  • 4 cups water
  • A spray bottle

Mix well and spray the top of the soil.  Avoid spraying the leaves of your plants.
