Forewarned is forearmed. Oil and roots are not a good combo so tread lightly on the perlite! I'm sure Joe will be chiming in here soon :).
 
bobrown just had a good idea in NaturalSpirit's thread:

Spinosad - 1 spray and your gnats are history permanent like. Soil too wet, need to let the surface of the soil dry out. A 9" fan blowing across the soil line will get rid of them. That's actually enough (the fan) they are terrible at flying so wind they can get back to the soil to reproduce. Problems solved.

"most" insects an be dealt with easily with a fan on the soil and spray with water and a drop of soap. There's goes 99% of your pests. Spinosad will get all 100% of em, its organic and what I use.

Wind and rain the bane of insect pest.

I just came up wit that ^^^ it's true tho.

Skip the sticky traps & add a fan - they are poison and that poison gets in the air around your plants then sticks to the plants then you puff plants. Not a good combo.

Damn bobrown has been reading my mind about oil and soil. He just posted this update in NS's thread:

Add NEEM CAKE when you're mixing soil before plants are planted. You can top dress 1 tbs and scratch it in to the top layer soil an water in now. Yes it will tco your soil pests if you have any.

If you are talking neem OIL:

Don't add oil to your soil. (rub some in your hair... get the pests out).

Yes, and I wouldn't use neem oil for fungus gnats. A fan, spinosad, DE, neem cake...all better suggestions.
 
Evs. Wasting my time :confused:.
