How (if any) should these be treated differently in a recirculating hydroton bucket setup? I'm guessing breaking them up and sprinkling on top would work fine, but just wanted to ask for clarification. Thanks!

One dunk treats like 10,000 gallons or some ungodly amount of water.

I don't do hydro, but I am sure it would work the same. Maybe put a little piece in the reservoir and let it hang out in the water?

indecent-I am going to try and put them in my rdwc tonight, I will let ya know how they work ! I am having some plant problems and would like to rule out the gnats.

What kind of damage could gnats cause?

They eat root hairs, and if bad enough, they will plumb eat a seed before it can grow. Plus they can cause stunting of the plant.

go on ebay. punch up Mosquito Dunks,6 for like 10 bucks.don't know if they ship international but its worth a try.

The Dunks work great! They don't kill off the adults though! In about 3-4 weeks though, you won't see any more adults. It takes time to eradicate them.

The Dunks break the breeding cycle by killing off the grubs in the roots.

Adults can be zapped with a little pyrethrin spray in the air. Also yellow sticky fly paper is good to catch adults.

But ONLY using dunks, my grow was fungus gnat free in 3-4 weeks. AND it has stayed FREE of gnats for a year, by adding a little dunk to new soil as it is brought in.


DIE FUNGUS GNATS DIE!
