What I do is about two weeks before I know I am bringing a container inside, I put a drop of Camphor on a rock that I sit on the soil in the container. I repeat every three or four days to chase the little buggers off as they hatch and viola, when it is time to bring them in, no gnats!
I have used it on houseplants as well. I don't know where those nasty little gnats come from but I get them at least twice a year. Well, I did anyway; now I don't get them at all. Every week or two (I don't always remember to do it) I put a drop of Camphor on the rock. I have eliminated my household gnat problem with this method.
Lori would you copy and paste your post to this thread. It would be wonderful to have that where it would be easy to find. The thread "Pests and Over Wintering Containers Indoors" in Containers forum
