Fungus gnats and control
Kelly Irvin (Thu, 11 Dec 2003 06:55:15 PST)
My seedlings are in an enclosed growth chamber (12' L x 5' W x 7' H),
so I don't know how well my methods of control would transfer to another
application. Like Joe, I have successfully used over the counter foggers
for roaches, etc. with success, but I don't like the smell of the
aftermath or the thought of touching the residues.
I now use a Sunbeam Rechargeable Bug Zapper to completely control fungus
gnats. Within a couple weeks my heavy infestation was gone, and has not
built up since. I have found them on eBay and at my local Walmart. Only
about 12" H x 8" W x 4" D.

I have found that insect bombs and foggers (that are marketed to clear up
fleas inside a home) take care of fungus gnat infestations, and I have not
observed any damage to seedlings (I suppose damage could happen).
