Fungus Gnats are pesky in the area of the plants, but they are not any harm to the plants. The real harm is caused by the eggs they lay in the soil which turn into larva that feed on plant roots. The best way to control Fungus Gnats is to kill the larva in the soil, and the best way to do that is with Neem Cake. This video will demonstrate the process of making Neem Cake Tea, and using it to drench the soil. As soon as the Neem Cake Tea comes into contact with the Fungus Gnat larva they will quit feeding and start to die. This will result in a dramatic decrease in the number of Fungus Gnats in the area, but the process of drenching the soil with Neem Cake Tea needs to continue weekly for 3 to 5 weeks to ensure all Fungus Gnats are killed.
Neem Cake, aka Neem Meal, has been used as a fertilizer for years by organic gardeners and farmers, but few know of its importance in pest control. Neem Cake is a systemic pesticide which is useful in eliminating many insects such as Fungus Gnats, White Flies, Spider Mites, and Root Knot Nematodes. Neem Cake is not harmful to any beneficial insects, nor is it harmful to earthworms. Earthworms, in fact, love Neem Cake as a feed source.
