Got Gnata

[GilbertsGrape]

I have a smalle palm tree and a ivy plant in my office and there are lots and lots of Gnats flying all around them and in the dirt. I need a way to get rid of the Gnats with out hurting my plants. Fumigation is out of the question because it would run everyone out of the office.

thanks

Get a can of flying bug spray. My favorite is the kind that keeps killing for up to 2 weeks.

Other than that make sure there is no standing water and nothing for them to breed in.

check for stagnent water. maybe the soil is too moist. move it out towards sunlight. that usually takes care of the trick...if all else fails set the tree on fire...bugs hate fire..
