wonder if anyone has a real method:

Gnats. use palmolive, lemon scented dishwasher, and water, 1 Tsp. and 2 leters. spray, then water two hours later, epeat,
another said use palmolive and alcohol and water. some said to get all the potting mix off and rinse.

well wonder if the Gnats come directly from the manufacturer potting mix bagged, wonder where we can in the North East get Real potting mix, I remember it used to be really black with small beads of styrofoam type of white stuff, those days are gone. Miracle grow is not like it used to be

I may have to repot my Clclimen again and want these gnats gone. takes one to make a home any suggestions.

I have used Neem Oil to get rid of gnats and it is the perfect solution.

There are many other natural and chemical ways to treat gnats:
  • Using potato or yellow paper traps
  • introducing Nematodes
  • use of hydrogen peroxide etc
