I had a terrible infestation all through spring and summer, and suddenly, I have none. I'm not sure if I did something right, or if it's a seasonal thing, but I'd like to know so next time I get an infestation, I'll know how to get rid of them.
I used a sulfur spray to reduce the fungal spread in the media, about once every 2 weeks. I also ended up with lots of tiny spiders all through my collection, and they've been busy weaving webs between the pots. There are quite a few dessicated gnats still stuck in those webs. I also use coiled CFLs to supplement what daylight gets through the windows. There have been lots of fungus gnat corpses stuck to the lamp coils. Obviously, these remedies helped, but I never thought I would get perfect results with any or all of them.
So is it something I did or just a change of seasons?
