Thanks DaisyL and Purpleinopp:

I just clicked off the Summit website that make the BTI products such as Mosquito Bits. I also found a Utube video that walked me right through one Gardner's adventures in eliminating fungus gnats. Very thorough, and right to the point without over explanation.

My first step in using the yellow sticky traps was correct. That kills the adult gnats. Now, I need to order the Mosquito Bits with the BTI that will take care of the larvae growing in the soil on my next few waterings.

As far as ants, I have an indoor ant problem in the "monsoon" season, aka hurricanes season, in the summertime. Ants start moving indoors to find alternative food sources as their primary sources are water logged. Tampa get's roughly 7 inches of rain every month over the dog days of summer.

They've yet to go after the jade plants, but if the fungus gnats are any indication, I will be ordering insecticidal soap in June.

Time to order Mosquito Bits on Amazon.

Thanks again, as both of you are a wealth of information.
