How to Use Mosquito Bits on Herbs
Using Mosquito Bits on herbs is a great way to kill off mosquitoes and other flying insects without harming your plants. They are available at most big box stores and come in both granular and soaking form. They can be used on both your outdoor herb garden and container grown plants. You should replace the Mosquito Bits on a regular basis to ensure the most effective results.
The best way to use them is to mix the granules with water and sprinkle on your plant’s leaves. They are a great way to kill off mosquitoes, fungus gnats and other flying insects. You can also add them to ponds, swimming pools and rain barrels to help control the bugs that plague these outdoor spaces. The best part is that they are safe for human and animal alike.
A small black insect with a long leg, the fungus gnat is a common nuisance. It is often mistaken for a mosquito, and while it may look like one, it is not. The ol’ fungus gnat can be easily controlled with a few applications of the aforementioned insecticides, but if you’re looking for something a little more exotic, try using a sticky trap or an apple cider vinegar trap. If all else fails, you can also buy a spray that is made specifically for fungus gnats.
The best part of these products is that they are not only effective at controlling fungus gnats, but they are also safe for your pets and wildlife. You can even use the same ones to help control gnats in your houseplants.
