Julia the rubber gloves only work if I can wear them over my eyes!

Lynn I will try the hydrogen peroxide mix this evening. Should I spray it on or pour it on the soil? Does it matter if I get some on the leaves? I hope it will work faster and more completely than the Windex. This morning there were some flying around in my courtyard so I just fogged everything up with fly spray then ran. Hilarious!

Honestly every time I see or even talk about these gnats I get itchy. There's just something about them that makes my skin crawl. If the hydrogen peroxide doesn't get rid of them I'm going to throw everything out (but the plants) and start again. I'll have a word to that nursery who sold that nasty potting mix too. Grumbling
