i got method 1 for my IPM, i havenāt seen gnats in awhile since i used the nematodes then neglected my plants and let them really dry out a couple timesā¦ but iāve heard good things about this so iām gonna try it out
Those look really small for a fungus gnat to me?
Fungus gnats are like 2 mm long with wings.

I have to admit, I donāt know.
Whatās your approximate geographic location?
Luckily they donāt seem to be affecting your seedlings.
Lake District UK is were I live your right there doesnāt seem to be any damage to my plants but they only appear wen I water
yes i did thatās the official site, the shipping was expensive for Canada but should last me a long time

Just to help clarify as to where my mites come from is, that I Thermal compost and when done, all the schredders, microarthropods macroarthropods move into the pile which I then run through my red wiggles bins, its this mix that I use as a 1/3 component of my soil.
Fox farm ocean forest organic soil
R they dangerous to the plants?
I believe this to be a beneficial nematode (predatory) I didnāt see a stylet( a piercing mechanism ) which helps it to invade root tissue.
On another subject if my soil is dry 2inches down should I water
@Herbie and @ryasco say yes to thisā¦ If memory serves me well.
Just remember to use the BTI water for the gnatsā¦ 
Sorry for repeating myself but I just donāt want to overwater sorry guys 
I have Watered both plants today with mosquito dunks crushed up in the water and ph checked to 6.37 both plants were planted at same time on same day but one of them seems to be progressing well and the other looks as though something could be wrong wot u guys think
