This past year has been wetter than usual and there appear to be fungus gnats in the back garden where there is more organic matter like tree leaves. Drying out the soil is not an option with all the rain.

I drenched some affected amaryllis with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide 3% in a ratio of 1 to 4 water. ..like 1 cup peroxide to 4 cups water. I'm wondering if anyone has used this hydrogen peroxide treatment on potted daylilies?

I know this will not be a fix where daylilies are growing in the ground, but I'm planning on putting seedlings where there is less organic matter like leaves etc. Also ordered some yellow sticky traps and Gnatrol (BT )

Any suggestions appreciated since I've gotten new "babies." (The old yellow daylilies I've had for years have done well without any special care.)
