There are two things about Knock-Out Gnats you should know about:
1. It works best with soil-based media. Most orchid media has little to "catch" the Bacillus thuringiensis and hold them to allow them to do their work.
2. My bottle warns against use with fertilizer. Maybe the newer versions have overcome that problem.
 
Thanks Dot
I have yet to order the product and what you are saying makes good sense
Clark recommended small cut up pieces of sticky board which I have place on each plant...quiet the tedious chore! I am waiting for a butterwort that a member of our local society plans to share...it still does not take care of the larvae?
 
look what I found at http://www.getridofthings.com/get-rid-of-gnats.htm
A bowl full of vinegar and a little dishsoap is a popular way to reduce gnat populations by trapping them. Gnats go for the vinegar in the hopes of a good meal, and find that the lack of water tension caused by the dishsoap won't let them out of the bowl. There's nothing like cheap and natural gnat control for a slim budget.
