So i got symphilids...again...? Stitch can you help me please..

[Blunted22]

ok I have got symphilids and i cant get rid of them.... Im reading your post guide on them and it says use B.t. Fungus gnat killer in a powder form... Ive looked for it for ever it used to say wilsons fungus gnat killer... i cant find any kind of powder form of it.

Also it just says B.t. but most fungus gnat pesticide is B.t.i do i want B.t.i or do i want B.t.k which is the most common use of the B.t. family i can find B.t.k in powder form.... im using mesquito dunks for gnats at the moment which hopefully will work for both symphilids and gnats... if not i would like to be pointed in the direction of a route i can take cause i want to be done with these little bastards for good....

btw ive tried nematodes, gNatrol (which didnt even really work for the gnats...),the bti stuff that was like blue and i think thats it... im worried if i use the tabbaco the virus may be carried over to the plants...

any help is appreciated and thanks in advance to anyone with any help....

Do you have Symphyla? Aka a garden centipede? From what Ive read they are like killer worms on crack. What ever u use to try and kill them you will need a full dose of it through out the entire soil mixture. From top to bottom.
I know worms cant breath when they get flooded out. Will this be a tactic u can use?

I'm not sure...look at the "Complete Guide to Sick Plants"....symphlids are right above fungus gnats...that's what I have.

keep using the dunks and repeat with fresh one in 7 days to get the late hatching bastards.
