Help with bug id?

[RockyMountainHi]

I thought they were fungas gnats but zero bugs in the roots

Gnatrol didn't do squat

gnatrol is for the larvae and not the adults...

Those look like Fungus Gnats bro ...give the gnatrol some time to do its thing...

Thanks Storm - Gnatrol has been in a couple weeks, might be time to hit em again with another do-nut.

mmmm do-nut,,,,,,

Wipe out the flyers with stcky traps and pyrethrum, along with the bt for the larvae and u will have more, and quicker success.

ps ; don't eat the donut.

SNS has a fungus gnat spray/drench that kills adults. Could one just use soapy water as a soil drench? That works great on lots of pests.

I don't know if soap will, but safer insecticidal soap will im pretty sure. Pyrethrum is pretty safe if u don't breath it.

I'll upgrade the attack with a couple weapons.

The garden isn't showing the stress like the invasion of Root Aphids, but one pest usually leads to others. and winter approaching, it's that time again.

Thanks for the pointers!
