Truths and Facts

Fungus gnats are every plant owner's nightmare. These tiny flying pests not only irritate us but also wreak havoc on our indoor plants by laying hundreds of eggs in moist soil. But here’s the good news: you don’t have to live with them. There is a solution that works—and it’s called BioGnat.

Many DIY remedies sound good in theory, but fall flat in reality. Here's why:

• Has antifungal properties but isn’t an insecticide
• Can damage your plants and create dry soil patches

• Only works when completely dry
• Messy, unattractive, and ineffective once wet

• Can kill beneficial microbes and damage plant roots
• Loses effectiveness quickly after contact with organic matter

• Destroys both good and bad microbes
• Can alter soil structure and release odors or toxins

• Only blocks egg-laying temporarily
• Can cause compaction, drainage issues, and looks unsightly

• Alters soil pH
• May damage plants and requires constant reapplication

• Catch adults but do nothing to larvae and eggs
• Can attract other pests

• Effective but require ideal conditions
• Must be refrigerated and used quickly

• Can lead to salt buildup and root rot
• Doesn't flush out toxins or microbes properly

• Requires direct contact with larvae
• Can harm sensitive plants and needs repeated applications

• Temporarily repels adults
• Doesn’t kill anything or address root causes

• Only attract some larvae
• Doesn’t stop eggs, pupae, or adults

While BTI targets the larvae, yellow sticky traps help catch the adult gnats. This dual-action approach:

• Slows down egg-laying
• Reduces the population of adult gnats
• Complements the larval-killing action of BioGnat

Remember, adult fungus gnats only live about 10 days, but in that time, they can lay up to 300 eggs. Don’t skip the traps!

The secret weapon against fungus gnats is a naturally occurring bacterium called Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (BTI). It specifically targets and kills fungus gnat larvae in the soil. But not all BTI products are created equal.

• BioGnat contains a powerful 37.4% BTI concentration.
• Compare that to the popular granular products like “The Bits,” which contain only 2.86% BTI.
• Liquid alternatives like Microbe Liquid and Death Drops? Just 8% BTI.

This makes BioGnat over 10x stronger than The Bits and more than 5x stronger than liquid competitors. That means faster results, fewer reapplications, and ultimately, more bang for your buck.

Stronger BTI means:

• Larvae begin dying within 24 hours
• Less time for them to mature and lay new eggs
• No drawn-out infestations

And yes—we always include free shipping and handling.

To fully eliminate fungus gnats, you need a multi-pronged strategy:

1. BioGnat: High-strength BTI to wipe out larvae fast
2. Yellow Sticky Traps: Catch adults before they lay more eggs
3. Watering Discipline: Don’t overwater—keep soil moist, not soggy

With BioGnat, you’re getting a potent, natural, and economical solution that works fast without harming your plants or the environment.

So stop wasting time with half-measures and messy DIY hacks.
