What are you using besides captain jacks? Ive heard alot of people say that pest can build up immunity if you dont change it up. Also nematodes and lady bugs are they effective and how tough of a process is that to follow and implement?

If there are no pests to eat, they will leave or die.

Roger that makes sense
They will sometimes wonder off anyway like they are lost or have ADD. Aphids, what aphids. Ha
I get way more excited when I see their ugly children. Those guys are like ninja assassins.

My mom always used dawn dish soap and water in a spray bottle. Light on the soap!
also i grow indoors and i did 1 spray of captain jacks and it messed with my nose HARCORE!! i didn’t even get any spray on me and it was bad.
I use diatomaceous earth, both on, in soil and in a spray for leaves.

The mosquito bite you got are for ponds and open body’s of water . There is another that are smaller little balls that you should get instead
For gnats i use mosquito bits ( when i remember) lol
Or a mix in a 1 gallon jug - 1/4 milk, 5ml rubbing alcohol & 5 to 10 drops dish soap/castle peppermint soap. Yellow sticky traps, vinegar in a glass, & pure1crop.

I put them in Crown Royal bags, break them up and let that soak in my water container. They last quite a while like this and get the job done.

We use ladybugs and theyre amazing. She bought some ladybug houses and sets out some honey on a lil sponge for them to eat when theres no bugs.
