I cleaned out my no-tech aquarium yesterday. It's in a huge green glass demijohn with plants and rocks. I see a lot of my plant stuff as art or craft but can understand if that doesn't make any sense!

The stickies are gross but they do work.
Also, watering the plants from the bottom so the topsoil dries out can help as well. The flies lay eggs in the top soil when it's moist, so if it dries out it breaks the cycle.

So my gnat problem has blown up I read online that I can put hydrogen peroxide in the soil to kill the larvae and it won't harm the plants. I'm still worried though.

I have an invasion of gnats. They started out in one of my plants. I put a sticky spike in the soil to catch them, but they must be laying eggs in the soil or something. I can't see anything, so I'm only assuming. But there are so many of them. I put sticky spikes in all my plants and some are completely full. It's gross, man. The worst thing is they fly close to my face because they want to moisture in my eyes and mouth. I already swallowed one and snorted another. My desk is next to all my plants, so they are constantly flying around me. I don't want to put anything in the soil incase it harms the plants. I think I'll make a few vinegar traps and set them on my desk. Maybe that will keep them away from my face.
