ive never had gnats but i used to deal with them in commercial greenhouses. along with shore flies which are way worse  but they give some people hell..

the idea is IPM (integrated pest management)

you start with environment.  adults can be killed with colde temps.  a night in the fridge would do it.  it will stall your grow but it recovers easily . i do it sometimes when i need to leave town and cant get a tub sitter

so then youve stopped the egg laying and breeding now you deal with the larvae. 

i would think using the sticky paper on the lid would really disrupt their cycle. 

i dont think eradication is ever an option.  management is the operative.  a few bugs wont really stop you from getting a good flush i wouldnt think.

I'm curious too. Being it's breathable.. maybe as a filter, but a spendy filter lol.

Filters won't stop them anyways. Maybe reduce entry points but gnats will find a way. They typically sneak in under the lid where the suffocation gussets are or through unfiltered holes. I would stick with your adult gnat enforcement Gil, and do some research on BTI (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis) also known as mosquito dunks. That will take care of the larvae within a week or two. Cycle broken.

:nodofunderstanding:


I think that if this is a consistent issue people should consider having a little diatomaceous earth mixed in when they set up their tub.

The nutritious surface they were feeding on has become a field of razors that'll slice them to ribbons if they land there.

Not so much with cubensis. They're fast and aggressive enough to be minimally effected. Zapotecorum on the other hand is just the opposite being slow and touchy already lol. Not only are the larvae eating the tips of the myc.. they're bug piss/shitting toxins so even if you break the cycle the sub will usually trich out early. There's definitely no way of getting rid of them entirely, but their lives are short and they tend to be seasonal in most places. I don't use BTI until i see one flying or get lucky enough to see larvae. Which gets harder every year lol :nerd:

thats not  how diatomaceous earth works pard.  it works by dessicating the insect via absorption so it has to be dry.  it really works well when its suspended in the air and they breathe it and it destroys their lungs.  never was a real viable option in commercial greenhouses for that reason.  ive tried blasting it through the cooling fans and heating ducts but its too expensive to just throw around like that. 

spinosad food grade insecticide is much more effective and affordable in that sense.

Yep. Another tool in the arsenal that doesn't really effect the myc much if at all. Just make sure to wash your hands etc after using it. I rubbed an eye once. :stoned2: :lol:

yeah its just fossilized little guys with glass shell.  its real sharp.  i dont think youd want it in your eye. 

wet though, it just clumps into a paste.  ive watched it work under the dissection mic to test its efficacy on different bugs.  not real useful once its underground.  i used it for squash beetles once but again,

spinosad works a lot better on contact.

Yeah it does kind of almost form a paste if it gets soaked. I thought if it was still spread out enough it would tear them up.

not real well.  like, you can walk across a a dumpster packed full of nails barefoot.

spinosad tho... just wrecks their fuckin nervous system instantly.  love that shit.  never heard of anyone using it for gnats and i dont know why.  its basically totally non toxic.

Punch cards were a little before my time, but I remember saving and loading programs on cassette tape for my sinclair, TI-99 and C-64.

Got home today and took a look at jars I got going and it’s a fucking black explosion in 3 days. Makes me want to pitch that shit hard into a rock slab. Fuck me.


On a more interesting note here’s to Lilliputian people as revealed by an interesting shroom: Lanmaoa asiatica with no currently known psychoactive compound
