So I checked my dirt today 7 days after transplanting to new containers with new dirt and found they were already infested with fungus gnat larvae a few root aphids and some springtails. I have tried everything I can think of to get the bugs out of my dirt but have not been successful.
I have drenched with gnatrol, mosquito dunks, and organicide. Applied de and used mulch. At best they just get slowed down. Actually everything ceased activity for a week or so then they just come right back. Im looking for something I can do to prevent the infestations. Im probably going to switch out the topsoil again in a day or so. But who knows how I’ll keep them from getting in my dirt again. Does Anyone have an idea for a preventative measure?
