I'm having a hard time with fungus gnats again this year. Not as bad as winter 2018/2019, cause I still use the mosquito bits and yellow sticky traps. But I have a bunch of them and they are KILLING my seedlings!
Found out about this - Hot Shot 100046114 No-Pest Strip, Pack of 1 Price: $5.96 FREE One-Day. I'm glad I got it on Amazon, cause I was in my local hardware store later and saw the exact same item for 8.99!
Here is where I was reading about it. And even tho it's about aphids, it gave me the best ideas about how to use the product safely.

Here is what I actually did. I popped the plastic covering open, cut the strip in half, put one piece each in small kitchen garbage bags with one seedling tray, twist tied them shut. Will this kill my seedlings? I don't know, but they're dying one by one anyway! And I don't even have half of them potted up yet! My precious (some of them expensive) seedlings!
I did this yesterday at noon. I'm leaving it for 24 hours. This is supposed to kill everything, except I don't think it will bother the eggs. So I gotta do it again in like 3 or 4 days!
Meanwhile, I'm researching this.
