Default How do I kill gnat eggs in indoor soil, organically?

Spraying plants for fungus gnats is not effective. You will need to buy Bt-i
H-14. I know that sounds all crazy and out there, but they do sell it he

I know it is expensive, but it has a two year shelf life and mine has lasted
even longer when stored in a dry, dark closet in the kitchen.

If you want, you can run up to the box stores and buy mosquito dunks. The come
in donut shaped pieces and are sold on a card. You can buy 6 for about 8
dollars and grind them up in the blender with some water and add that to your
watering can. I have no rate of application to give you, but less is always
more. It may not be AS effective as the Bt-i H-14, which is specific for fungus
gnat larvae.

I have some potted indoor plants and every time we water them, we see

gnats
flying around the house afterwards. ( even in winter )

Is there an organic way to get rid of them? Like maybe garlic powder in

the
water I give them? Something that will kill the eggs without harming me?

What about spraying the soil in the pots with rubbing alcohol?
