Update:

After my post about this issue with Fungus Gnats one of my Papaya plants started to show signs of wilt on older growth(fan leaves mostly). 48 hrs later it was a little worse. I decided to attack it with little regard for burning the plant because I assumed that it would die from the gnats if I didnt get drastic. So, I just mixed a huge amount of ground cinnamon into the top 2 inches of soil and then placed a generous dusting on the top of the soil. I did this on all my plants but went extra heavy on the one that showed signs of stress. I put out a shallow bowl made up of water, dish soap and enough coke(soda) to color the water brown. 12 hrs later and I counted over 30 adult gnats floating in the bowl. 24hrs later I used a 15% mix of water and Azatrol in a spray bottle and I saturated the top 2-3 inches of soil. I decided to add another fan so all my plants are getting a large amount of airflow and all the leaves are in motion at all times. As of today I estimate the adult population is less than 10% of its former size. I know the true test is with the larva. The Azatrol is supposed to keep the larva from reaching the adult phase which should break the reproduction cycle. None of my other plants seem to be showing signs of any damage(yet?????) I really hope that my first harvest is not worthless or tiny due to these god awful things.

Thanks to all of you for your help.
BamaGrower Reviewed by BamaGrower on . Fungus Gnats that will NOT die! Let me know how you deal with em please. Here is the situation: Six plants in six five gallon containers. I (stupidly) used miracle grow potting soil and consequently about a month into my veg grow these fungus gnats started showing up. I ordered Azatrol upon some advice from my local grow shop and it has helped cut down the population but, it just cant seem to get em all gone. I have excellent airflow and only water about every four days at most(sometimes every 5 if soil is damp enough). Plants look great to me and have grown Rating: 5
