Newbie needs help!!!!!!!
I' m still learning to use this sight...so please bear with me!
I have a young california gold pup that is approx. 2 mos. old. It had 3 leafs & was approx. 12" tall when I received it. It now has 7 leafs & is 18" tall. I recently put my containerized banana plant outside & it now appears I have fungus gnats. How can I safely get rid of these pests........ALL suggestions/recommendations are appreciated. I'm in central Virginia, zone 7. |

Re: Newbie needs help!!!!!!!
You can also add a few drops of bacillus T (aka mosquito dunks) in the water for your plants. It's deadly to many types of insect like gnats, tomato worms, cabbage worms, etc. but harmless to other non-insect species. You don't want to apply this haphazardly tho, as it will also kill a lot of desirable insects.

Spinosad is a better choice west of the Rockies.

However, the item has been discontinued by the mfg., (Ortho). That being said, the item that replaces Green Light is Ortho Tree & Shrub Fruit Tree Spray. This replacement for the Green Light has the exact/identical ingredients and a similar pricing structure. Again, I Thank You for All your help. Ron- in VA. |

Re: Newbie needs help!!!!!!!
That is interesting. How does geography play into the type of product used, Richard?
