Read what I wrote. I wrote that I can only think of a few species that reproduce in waterr, and none of them reproduce indoors.
Fungus gnat and spider mite have NOTHING in common except that they are animals that have a vegetarian diet. One is an insect, the other a spider. One has larvea that feed on decaying organic matter, and incidentally may affect roots of weak plants, and the other had adults that suck moisture from leaves and in some cases above-ground stems.
Fungus gnat larvea do not flush from the pot when you water. And even if they would.. They CANNOT LIVE IN WATER, as I just wrote.
As always, you're very welcome, and the suggestion stands: Read more, write less.bob wrote: Thank you leatherback.

Stop it. Just stop. Every time you write something and someone points out the flaws in your reasoning, you change your story a bit and say what you wrote first is not what you meant. You twist and turn until you write something that is almost a contradiction of what you wrote first.
It is getting annoying. Stop. Think, research, then think again before you post.

Posted 10 years 4 months ago #12312Just one remark...
You referred to this post:
"If you have water in humidity trays then add salt to it. It kills larvae of mosquitoes so I assume it would do for other stuff also"
Did you really base your advise to use salt on this single post on another forum only - where the writer only ASSUMES this will work?

Understood. On this small Internet with only a couple of pages about pest control, it would be hard to find articles about such techniques, even if they are well known and proven to work.

Urgh...
Let me rephrase it.
If on this massive Internet, where good and bad advise is found about every possible subject, you can only find one reference from one person on one forum, then you have no proof that this technique is really tested, reviewed and found to be effective.
If it was tested, reviewed and found to be effective, you would find articles about it all over the place.
I can find a few pages about drip trays and salt. It involves an oven.
One more time:
Don't make statemens without doing proper research first.
