Fungus Gnats: Tiny Flies From Moist Soil

Fungus Gnats: Dark, Skinny, Jumping Nuisances

Fungus gnats breed in moist potting soil, feed on root hairs, emerge as adults every 30 days. Best cure: let soil dry thoroughly—kills eggs/larvae. Yellow sticky cards (inside pot, near vents/doors) trap flying adults. Stir soil to encourage flight to cards.
