Houseplants bring life to your space — but also sometimes… flies! Here’s and fruit flies for good.
Fungus gnats or fruit flies? Spotting the difference is key before treating your plants.
Moist soil invites flies! Wait until the top layer feels dry before watering.
Place yellow sticky traps near windows and above plants. Catch adult gnats and break their breeding cycle.
Remove the top 1-2 inches of soil if infested. Add sand or gravel as a barrier to stop egg-laying.
Use neem oil or hydrogen peroxide spray every 14 days. Safe and plant-friendly!
Improve airflow, avoid overwatering, and give your plants light. Flies hate dry, bright spaces. Problem solved!
