Default Treating houseplants ...gnasty gnats

I have a problem with fungus gnats.


Sprinkle the soil with ground cinnamon. I bought a big jar of ground
cinnamon at the Dollar Store for my garden bucket and I've had it it for
years, still works just fine. The gnats disappear within minutes and it
kills the larva as well. No nasty chemicals, non toxic and it smells good
too. I've very seldom ever had to treat a pot more than once.
