Their poor little brains can't handle light from 2 directions! They are more of a nuisance than a problem. - Granny:hippy:
hey granny, is using foil pretty effective at ridding fungus gnats?? I have a friend with 10 dirt plants that would love to not have to deal with those little bastards anymore..
