MICROBE-LIFT BMC2 Biological Mosquito Control, Liquid Treatment for Decorative Water Gardens, Fountains and Ponds, 2 Fl Oz

I have a houseplant collection of over 150 plants. I grow in no-drainage glass vases with a reservoir of water at the bottom, or in self-watering pots. While I do use Pon, I also use a tree fern fiber, bark, perlite etc mix for most aroids & Hoya. The conditions are perfect for a fungus gnat infestation. What I see instead, are pings I need to feed manually! (There aren't enough gnats to sustain them)This product, a few drops in a gallon of feed water, truly works. I use it every time I water. It hasn't affected beneficial bugs either. It's so easy to use - just add the drops to my watering jugs. It's safe for everything but fungus gnats and mosquitos, it's a great value for the money, it seals just fine. One reviewer mentioned a smell, I haven't detected one, but I'm watering today and will give it a closer sniff. After two years using it, I'm thoroughly satisfied. I'm back for another bottle!

Shocked by how quickly this worked - I used on ALL of my houseplants at once (~30), even though a few weren’t ready to be watered yet. For them, I made sure at least the top couple of inches were sufficiently soaked, apologized, and stuck them in front of a fan and grow light. The rest got a thorough watering. I also splashed a tiny bit into my prop jars and any pebble trays, to make sure I’d covered all my bases.I most definitely overdid it based on what the instructions said, but since it worked, fyi - I used 2 drops per IKEA 1.2 liter watering can refill. Note - this stuff was STANKY when I first opened the container, but thankfully, once diluted in water, no obvious odor. So don’t throw out the plastic outer canister - you’ll want to keep the bottle of liquid in there to contain the smell.I stopped seeing gnats the same day I first treated. I hadn’t had a terrible infestation to begin with, but before, if I gently jostled a plant, I’d usually see one or two fly around or crawl up from the base. But after this treated water, nothing moved when I tapped the stem.About 8-10 days later, I saw maybe 2 gnats in a particular plant who was probably not drying out as well as he should be, but I watered again with the drops and haven’t seen anything since. So I do think consistency (aka every time you water) and making sure all plants are treated at the same time (so they don’t just hide out in the next plant) is key.I’m so grateful I tried this stuff, I highly recommend for anyone with houseplants. It’s got a higher concentration % than BITS, fyi.

Absolutely a key item in my pest control arsenal! I ended up with some contaminated potting soil, did not know any better, got an infestation of fungus gnats. I tried tons of stuff, natural remedies, some chemicals, even mosquito bits. Come to find out, it was that new bag of soil I had stored... smh... So after finding the main source, it was time to try to deal with the affected plants (Everything?!?!), and that is where all my real problems came about. I could not get rid of them. Ended up killing off a bunch of stuff, trashing the entire set up.It happened again, but I caught it and this is when this product came into play. Very soon after I started using this (and yellow sticky traps), I noticed a reduction within days. And now, I very rarely see a bug and even if I do, I am confident they will not be hatching any eggs and I will likely catch the adults on a trap or with my spray.The problem is pretty much nonexistent. I am so confident in this product I started using it outside too.Things to keep in mind... It works really well and is super concentrated. It does not take much to get the job done. I found out later I had been overusing it, smh.I have some plants using wicking ropes. I simply add a small drop of this to each of the water containers and it seems to be able to wick up just fine and soak into the pots...As far as small-time use, lol. This is a great value considering how much you actually should be using verse how much you get. Amazing grab! I am not sure yet if this stands when you scale up, but for a home gardener or someone with just a few plants, this is totally worth every penny. A drop per gallon basically, com'on, unreal! and that may even still be overusing it, lbvs.Internet says it won't kill the worms!!!!I totally recommend this product and will be faithfully using it for most thing related, where possible.

This was helpful in removing fungus gnats but the timeline for use is not as long as mentioned. It said control for 90 days and I’ve found it to be less, more like 30 days

This got rid of the fungus gnats so fast!!! I love it and have recommended it to friends. 10/10 I recommend. IT WORKS FOR REAL!!

Easy to use & bottle last a long time. Used for fungus gnat control in my propagation & seed sowing. Fungus gnats are always a problem winter thru spring. Previously used nematodes and Azaguard but this is taking care of the problem without being a major project. It only takes a few drops per gallon of water! It is in every watering can full of water. This is in a commercial 100 x 40 ft greenhouse with a heated propagation bed (perfect for fungus gnat breeding too). A few native, local lizards and tree frogs always find there way in to winter in the sandy, moist, warm heat bed so I am careful what I use. If I need to water with a hose, I always follow with a sprayer of water and microbe-lift to wet down the plants and topsoil with it. It appears to be having a big effect on aphids and whiteflies too...not labeled for them but they have almost totally disappeared along with the fungus gnats.

I mix 1-2 drops in 2 gallons of water and use it to water my indoor plants every week. Gnats are non-existent now. I know there's a lot of products people swear by, but this really does work. I was dubious, but now I'm a believer.

Keeps fungus gnats at bay but if I forget to water with it, they come back immediately.
