If you don’t have many, one of these yellow sticky things hanging or stuck in the soil works for me.Please share your views - How do you get rid of fungus gnat larvae in the potting soil of an indoor plant?
I like the idea of ladybugs but I can see them everywhere in my house which I don’t really mind I don’t think but am not exactly sure how I would feel about it. Hatched praying mantis in the house several years for my garden. Didn’t realize that they would escape the bug box when they hatched. Came home to what looked like thousands all over my kitchen table and everywhere else I’m sure. Found those little critters for weeks here and there. My husband hated my mantis hobby because I would keep a few in a box and on my screened in porch and feed them fly larvae and bugs and small baby frogs in my yard. I actually was able to make more egg pods for the next round of mantis. Maybe Bubba will chime in as he just turned loose thousands of lady bugs in his tent. Maybe he is seeing them around his house. I think they are good luck maybeYou could add predator bugs like nematodes or ladybugs. I used sticky traps.
I tried cinnamon and DE. They are messy and IMHO useless af for gnats.
Do these products have a smell?use some Gnatrol or Pyganic

Gnats will easily become immune to BTI if you run the dunks for years. Ive seen it. I moved to an azamax root drench. one time in late veg is all you really need.I never had any luck with the mosquito dunk stuff. The DE is a double edged sword. It cuts up the larva and the adults, but inhaled, it cuts up your lungs, too.
i just don’t want the tent to smell like nothing but weed when I open it no buggy stuff. I don’t have a big problem with them but do see one now and then flying around. My sticky yellow butterfly catches a few.not particularly , I assume you are trying to keep the odors down?
i have used these in emergencies but I don’t really recommend them to inexperienced growers
but yeah , we also hang several strips of fly paper n the veg room , and check them for bugs and go from there
