How long do adult fungus gnats live?

Let's say hypothetically you cultivate a swarm of the buggers and want to wait a little while before beginning any new projects so you don't end up with the same problem all over again.

How long do you wait?

I hate them.

Fly paper without attractive chemicals/hormones, the hormones could just lead them inside and closer to it.

Plants and standing water are the two places gnats spawn, so try eliminate those.

I would say a week or two and a good cleaning would suffice.

i guess I'm lucky because with my current method it's the only contam I get. I have a 100% success rate even in very imperfect conditions up to 2 flushes (then things start to go) EXCEPT for the gnats.

I guess my next thread will be talking about why I always get trich when I add coffee grounds to my substrate. Saw another thread about it and the consensus was that it's coincidence but... 100% success without coffee. Identical technique with coffee grounds and I get trich EVERY time.

There's a bunch of members like Pinpornproducer, and some others I forgot lol that used a spray called worry free. On the bottle it says that you can spray crops (fruits) even on harvest day. It also doesn't hurt mycelium and mushrooms at all, and kills them even in larval form. Lots of them got through it with worry free to the point where they don't see gnats anymore. Works on most insects like fruit flies too. You can find it in many places where you get insect control products. Hope this helps. :thumbup:
