How do you keep nats off your house plants?

I learned this works great for indoor and outdoor plants. Get a spray bottle and mix water and dish soap together.



so simple and works really great! Good Luck!

How do you keep nats off your house plants?
If you are referring to fungus gnats(tiny,flitty,black) they are laying eggs in the soil and killing the adults may not help.

One non-chemical approach is to put slices of potato on the soil surface each day and throw them out next morning, or at least within three days,as the adults will lay their eggs in the potato instead of the soil. Repeat until gnats are gone.

Chemically, put liquid sevin in the soil to kill the larvae
Reply:this is a sign that you are overwatering your plants. repot them, if necessary and then back off on watering.
Reply:Too much water. Refrain from it until you need to water again. I did just that and those insects disappear.
