These voracious predatory mites are to be used in conjunction with steinerama feltiae, beneficial nematodes, against fungus gnats/sciarid flies.

I will update this thread once I have finished testing them. Until then here is a very cool video.

mix neem meal with earth worm castings and top dress your containers with this. I use about 2 tbsp per 25 gal pot, it works 100% of the time in less than 2 weeks

I cant get it, only the oil. Also I recall Microbeman saying neem could fuck with soil life. I have all kinds of beasties lurking in my mulch so I don't wanna nuke the lot of them all at once, It would be a bit rude, they are guests in my house!

It can also mess with seed germination if too much is used, I believe dyna has the proportions needed to mess up germination sonewhere on thier site. I'm using CCs ratio of neem in my soil mix, so its already on the heavy side. Yet I still got gnats, neem\ewc were applied several times throughout my last grow when ever they popped up, it worked for months and months, then with this last bout, it did not. So back to mosquito bits. When I get the cash ill be purchasing some beneficial insects again. Which reminds me I need to figure out what plants to plant in my planters to keep them alive whenwhen there's no bugs to eat

It seems the gnats are developing resistance to known methods of control there has been a rush of posts about gnat problems lately... time to call in the marines!

I don't know how that double posted, sorry about that

I never had neem meal help with gnats or root aphids. Going to try BTI to knock them back.
