I live in Vancouver
5 pots by the window include:
- rubber plant
- monstera and snake plant
- an orchid
- a green anthurium
- this new plant:
They are very small, I didn’t notice they were bugs until today. I have been cleaning them away.
Some are dead, and some are walking. None are flying but they have wings.
What is it? What should I do to prevent the spread? How can I cure it in the long term?
They are still contained around the window sill. I want to get rid of them before they start flying around my home.
Should I put the plants outside?
I know others have made suggestions, but I would also have a cup of apple cider vinegar with a couple drops of dish soap to break the water tension sitting off to the side near the plants. The adult fungus gnats will go into that solution and drown. It works pretty well!
