Altheabyanothername said:@ediblelandscapingsc Daniel-- I really never use chemicals, but I am not anti chemical. Could you please explain to me about gnatrol. Is it a systemic? How does it compare to Neem Oil, especially when using Neem systemically? Wouldn't Gnatrol kill anything that bites or feeds on the plant? Like aphids and spider mites and white flies? What about those low life bottom feeders--pill bugs which keep eating the good stuff! And do not even let me go the earwig route! Just looking for one product that would be the best to close the diner! Many blessings for a fantastic Friday!


Since leaf miner larva feed inside daylily leaves (feeding causes the tracks) I doubt that Gnatrol would have any effect. Gnatrol is used as a soil drench which targets fly species whose larva live and feed in the soil. That's why Gnatrol is effective against fungus gnat larva.
