The lid of an FC was opened on a nice winter morning and a bug, presumably a gnat, was spotted on the rim of the tub. It was killed, and no others were spotted anywhere. What can one expect in the near future?


Pins just started showing.

After reading the contam section it says gnats lay several eggs, and it talks of a bloom of winged insects so thigns cant be good. Should one wait, or what?

I found 3 in a tub once and vacuumed them out with the hose part of the machine. I got lucky and never saw another one in that particular tub. Hopefully you'll be as lucky.

Gnats are generally no big deal. The adults are attracted to the sweet smelling mycelium for a snack. They normally breed in soil or houseplants, so your fully colonized substrates are usually safe. I see them from time to time, but honestly have never had a contamination problem I could blame on them.

if you dont get rid of em right away, there are more and more of them. shortly following the appearance of gnats, i got trich all over the place. fortunatly the casings were mostly spent by that point.

kill em! they spread germs!
