Please do a video of your exotic insect collection!!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Yes!!! 😄
Yes plz, specially wen u release them on the aphids or mealy bugs!!!
That would be great 👍
i recently discovered mealies in a corner of my collection on two plants, i painstakingly scoured every centimeter of each plant removing them all by hand with q-tips and alcohol. then rinsed everything well, and sprayed everything with alcohol
I steep my plant water with a mosquito dunk and I put mosquito bits in my soil mixes and for wetter plants I put some bits on the soil surface in addition. Works pretty good. Keeps fungus gnat population down enough that I don't need to do anything else.
Time stamps:
1:14 Mealy Bugs
4:15 Spidermites
5:05 Aphids
11:05 Gnats
thank you. otherwise it was so difficult to follow her.
Actually it's 08:45 for spidermites
Bless you kind sir
🙏🏾
Can I use the green wing guys for fungus gnats too?
They are after my lemon plant... thanks for the tips.
I don't care about the bugs all I know and see is you're so beautiful your smile just makes my day .
Great info on pests Summer. I think the fungus gnats are attracted to carbon dioxide, so that is why you see them flying in your face. I use a mixture of 1 part 3% peroxide and 4 parts water to kill the fungus gnat larva. I sprinkle a layer of sand on top of my soil to keep the adult fungus gnats from laying eggs in the soil, because they hate the grainy said, so they usually die off, but your method sounds wonderful as well.
Thanks Summer!!!

Hi there, I just found your channel and think it's very helpful and informative. In regards to fungus gnats. I have used both mosquito bits and the dunks, followed the manufacturers instructions and not only did it not kill the gnats but killed some of my very sensitive indoor plants like a lot of my peperomias so I don't use that now and that was only after one application. I went and got a few carnivorous plants like Droseras (Sundews) and the gnats are very attracted to these wonderful little plants and are now under control and slowly dying off. I would definitely not use the stuff on my Cattleya orchids. But anyway love your channel and hello from Australia.
Thank you so much for the info. I've always had gnats on my indoor plants at one point or another. Lately my go to solution is to leave them in a nice location outside. That's not really a solution though. I will definitely be trying your solution. Glad you were able to find the Mosquito Bits to show everyone.
Thnx for the help I have a lot of plants but the careing part stresses me out don't want any sick plants luv them enjoy
I'm using 3% peroxide 1 part to 3 parts water on my soil-less microgreens for fungus gnats. It's working pretty well but I will definitely look at the mosquito bits.
tangobayus check out the yellow sticky paper gnat traps. They def work to catch adults.
What is the life cycle of the lacewings? Once they reach adulthood, how long will they fly around my house? I have a lot of plants in a very small space and I like the idea of using lacewing to find and eliminate any pests before I do, but I'm concerned about dealing with these bugs flying around all the time once they reach adulthood because, similar to the fungus gnats, it just gets annoying.
Please do a video on your awesome bugs!!!!!
Thank you for sharing...
Just googled you up. Lol. Small flying tiny drives me crazy bugs that you can't see. Can't see till they get in my art projects ( in woodworking shop). Going to try to find your mosquito bits. Thank you.
I have had root mealybugs below ground on stapeliads (succulent milkweeds). Woolly apple aphid does that to apples outdoors too.
Oh green lace wings are so so pretty when adults, that was an amazing tip to how combat lil critters naturally :)
Dis not know about that product mosquito bits, hope we have it here in France, if we do I'll def try it :)
Thanks
Made me spit my gum out your so witty!
Thank you I appreciate it
Pls do a video on treatments foe fungus, black spot disease, rust, blight
Hi I was wondering how much Mosquito Bits do you add to water ,I put my rain water in a 1 gal container so how much should I put in a 1 gal container love all your videos thanks for your time . Rich
Congrats - Saw you pop up - hope you are well,. I sent this to family
Awesome video-very easy to understand. I am ordering those beautiful green "fairies" tonight. unspokenheart
I bought some Ladybugs because my kids do not like the lacewings will they be as effective on spider mites as the lacewings?
I know this is an older video but hoping someone can answer. Will mealy bugs attack and live on plants that are only growing in water? I have some pothos growing only in water in a clear glass . Sometimes there is stuff growing on the roots that look "barnacles" or the green stuff that grow on an aquarium glass. But I have seen where it kind of looks fuzzy white and wondered if it could be mealy bugs growing under water. I have seen mealy bugs on a succulent so know what they look like. But essentially, do mealy bugs live on water only growing plants?
I clicked "Like" just by hearing your name Summer Rain (Ryane) - Whta BEAUTIFUL sounding name. I wish I could name myself that.
Wow!
Great video thank you for the great educational information. I'm new to collecting succulents and cacti. I was given several rescue plants which I think may have spider mites. How does one tell if there are spider mites or good spiders. I see web strings, some webbing between stems, and tiny filament with white dot on it which are probably eggs. BTW all my plants are outside n get S. Florida sun most of the day. Thank you
so lacewing stay on the plants? They dont fly around the house?
Can you change the soil of fungus gnats infested a majestic palm? I have been spraying with soap and water but the little worm are still there yuck. Please help!
Do u know if the mosquito bits will hurt the lacewings?
Is BTI safe for fish/aquatic life?
Can you film some battles by lap times ? Please
I'd love to see your exotic insect collection😃
I'm thinking of getting a pitcher plant maybe it will help w insect issues 🤔 l don't really hv enough plants in my small apartment to release beneficial insects.
Mosquito bits and similar are illegal where I live, but apparently green lacewings are totally cool and used by professionals, so at least I got something new out of this for future infestations. :) Thanks!
I have fungus gnats and my mum told me i should put a layer of sand on the top of the soil and that will help. Is that true? It would be so so nice if someone could answer me :)!
I have tried the sand method, and I think it helps, but might not eliminate the gnats completely. However, I've been using the Mosquito Bits, ( sold on Amazon ), mentioned in this video for a few years now - and nothing else I've tried, ( and believe me, I've tried A LOT of methods ), has been so effective in lessening the problem. The key I think is that you have to consistently re apply each time you water.
Tracey G thank you so much for the reply! I will buy them ASAP!
Hi Summer! What do you do once the lacewings become adults? Let them live in your house? lol is there a way to help them out the front door once they are done?
But the larvae of the gnats eat on the roots of the plants..
Surprised you didnt mention soil mealy bug. I think it is impossible to get rid of without heavy duty chemicals. When the infestation is bad, they can crawl up plant stems and act like the never ending plague they are. Do you have any suggestions other than disposing of the plant?
Yeah! OMG I can't wait to fight those fungus gnats this year!!! Thank you for suggesting mosquito bits! I have been fighting for years! And I also can't wait to fight those spider mites! I get them on my miniature roses and its so sad cause the leaves are so beautiful otherwise!
Ive noticed a bunch of fungus gnats im a few of my houseplants and what looks like spider mites on my indoor meyer lemon tree. I put the lemon tree in the bathtub and blasted the leaves. I also added a cool mist humidifier, seems to be working so far. As far as the gnats, im trying to dry out the soil in all the plants. Is there anything else i can do??
I was wondering if you could tell me....how long does Neem Oil last. I want to get some good bugs to eat my bad bugs but I sprayed my plants with Neem Oil over the week end. I don’t want the Neem Oil to hurt the good bugs.
You are so beautifaul in my eyes
🙂✨💙
Love your channel! Where can I find Mosquito bites (in Canada)? Can I use this on all plants including orchids and calatheas?
amazon
@@brireilly589 Not on amazon.ca
@@charlainericard7975 I hope you found a solution? Here in the UK on amazon they have it but its 3x more expensive. Wondering if you found a cheaper alternative more widely available?
wow that's really interesting about BTI, how much does it cost? It might be useful in some African countries where there is a lot of Malaria.
Also, I'd be interested in seeing a video of you releasing the bugs into the plants
this video shows the release of the insects if you watched the whole vid! :)
I propagated a baby chick from a huge chicken and hen succulent that my grandma has. I found out that it had melee bugs and I refuse to let it die😭
Do you know if BTI is safe for soldier flies?
What is the plant in the foreground?
i wanna see some bug wars
hello Summer. i just purchased some mosquito bits online, they're not available in germany. can you tell me the ratio in which you soak them? 1 cup per gallon? THANKS!!
Es gibt die Mosquito Bits auch in Deutschland unter anderem Namen... es handelt sich dabei um Produkte, die Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (BTI) enthalten, ein Bakterium welches Mücken tötet. Die Dosierung hängt von der Konzentration der Bakterien in dem jeweiligen Produkt ab...
It's important to use bottled water or non-chlorinated water when you mix in the mosquito bits! The chlorine could kill the bacteria in the product.
Wonder if she's using hydrogen peroxid 3% or 6% or higher? 🤔
Does anybody know?
I place small bowls around my house filled with 2-3 tablespoons of fresh pineapple soda. The gnats are so attracted to it and they drown. I did this for about a month and I used Neem oil mix on all the plants and their soils (once). I have not seen any gnats since completing this cycle! I found out that gnats like the FANTA soda because I was drinking a bottle and a gnat dove right in. Well yuck lol. I don't have any more gnats!
Dyna N-Spired I read they are attracted to yellow.
Good observation.
Dyna! Thanks!
A little bit of insect warfare lol :) You'll have to show us your bug collection one day. Lacewings aka aphid lions (!) besides being ravenous are quite pretty too. Wouldn't mind them around at all. If I'm not able to order them, how would I get my hands on them? I have occasionally seen them out and about if not in my own yard; I may have to carry some sort of insect catching device with me! Thank you for another great vid xx
Would LOVE to see your insect collection!
Also, once the lace wings eat all the mealy bugs, will they still hang around? Is there something else you can put out for them to eat?
That comment is really sweet and thoughtful.
She say they mature and go away
Yeah she's gonna get more mealy bugs. 🤪
They eat your fruit 🤪
you are braver than this man (me) !! :D I’l definitely jump and run when seeing those bugs
Shes so pretty, great personality and informative I can watch her videos all day!
So I’m learning the hard way that the more plants you own the more bugs you’ll have to deal with. It started with mealy bugs and now I’ve too many gnats . I’m crying cuz I hate the smell of neem oil but went ahead and sprayed my plants,both indoor n outdoor, with it. We may have to move soon 😑 or I’ll burn the house down .
Thank You SO much for suggesting Mosquito Bits! You made my day :)
Denise Jackson I tried them and it didn't work. I let the bits soak in distilled water for a couple hours then watered the plant with the water. It's been more than 48 hours and I still see gnats flying out of the soil. Any suggestions?
Aleli Hernandez dry the soil a bit then water but don't water to much and use normal hand soap water and water the plants I do the same and put flying sticky tapes on a hok stick, nearby the plants /soils you will see millions of them stack on to it good luck
@@aishabegum9192 I may have read wrong do you mix soapy water and mosquito bits and use it to water the plants?
Lynda I never used mosquitos bits , I only used normal hand soap water to spray and water the plant when I had black fly and sticky flys tapes near the plant, you can get them on eBay online thanks
Aleli Hernandez I use cinnamon for the gnats yes the kind we eat, sprinkle on the dirt they eat and take back to the colony. Keep me posted.
How come I can grow Pathos in just water but if I over water a planted Pathos the leaves turn yellow and die?
Do a video where you release lacewing larvae or predatory mites etc
ITS SO EASY ANY EVERYONE COMPLICATES IT!!! All you need to do is spray rubbing alcohol on your plants and it will kill them and it will not hurt your plants (surprisingly it won’t try it because I do it and it kills all the bugs and the plants are just fine) On more delicate plants I have watered it down and I have also rinse them off or take them out of the sun for a day but I haven’t burnt a plant! (Just don’t be dumb about it. I.e. don’t submerge plants I’m rubbing alcohol all day...)
Another great video, Summer! Thank you! I recently had a problem with gnats. I used some apple cider vinegar mixed with a little sugar and a drop or two of Dawn dish soap. I placed a jar of the solution wherever I saw the most gnats. I was able to get rid of them in a day or two. Just another option incase anyone is searching...
Ughhhhh that only works for so long, then they morph! Lol
I use a two-prong method: yellow sticky paper gnat traps to catch the adults and a hydrogen peroxide solution in the soil to kill the larvae. The traps are cheap and really work. Hydrogen peroxide can be used on plants for all sorts of purposes. Also cheap.
Can I use the same solution for mealy bugs?
I tried the dish soap, sugar, and apple cider vinegar and put three different dishes of it around my place for a week and it didnt do anything.
Thank u so much!! I have 26 indoor plants so far and I'm infested with fungus gnats and spider mites😣😣I go all organic non pesticide/non chemical. For outdoor plants I implemented neem oil/soap/hot pepper mix and sprayed my veg.. Worked great. Also used lady bugs for spider mites. But indoor they attacking my soil so I have to find a solution for the soil. But I'ma try the lace wings and mosquito bits n see how that goes. All my pants are losing and going brown leaf by leaf so thank u so much! I love it science based information 😍
I came here just to see if you would give the ratio for Mosquito Bits, but nothing. The container does not indicate the amount per gallon, but per square feet, and that's not a good measurement to calculate for indoor plants.
Yay thanks!!! I just saw my first fungus gnat the other day & thought, "Oh no!"...but now I know what to use! :) I don't like chemicals either, though I'm a little creeped out by bugs :P I'm actually trying to get over my fear of insects but I'm not fully there yet lol. I will be ordering the BTI asap, but I'm a little confused about how to use it. You said you soak it in water....are there instructions on the packaging?
Amy how did it go with Mosquito bits? Did you find the best ratio of bits to water in the most effective way? How long to leave in the water before applying etc?
Great video! I've been going crazy trying to deal with fungus gnats.
Use an anti fungal spray like physan 20 and gnat traps. There's these double sided yellow sticky traps that work well in our greenhouse. Be careful though, they are super sticky.
Hii Summer!! I am just curious.. can you use the Mosquito Bits before you see any Fungus Gnats while using Organic Fertilizer? Or do you have to wait to see the gnats to use the Bits? Thanks so much!
I'd love something preventative 😊
I've been using the Mosquito bits for a few years now, after watching this video when it first came out. I can't tell you what a difference it has made in the gnat problem I had, ( so many plants were lost when I threw them outside to escape the gnat invasion)! Now I actually use the bits in EVERY houseplant I'm potting - so the bacteria will be present before they even try to establish themselves. I think it's easier that way than trying to get rid of a swarm that has already happened.
Hydrogen peroxide as suppose to alcohol for mealy bugs? Which one works better?
Do you cover the soil with anything when spraying to get mites off of them? My worry is they would get into the soil and just climb back up.. I was thinking about cutting some cardboard with a hole in the middle for the plant and wrapping it around it the base of the plant before staying. I've especially been confused by this when people say they put their plants in the shower, doesn't that just flood the soil? Any info would be helpful, please! ❤️
I have the same question. Well what i do is i put large bin bag around the pot and clip it and when i shower it it just runs off. Cardboard would brobably get wet and if it horizontal it will leak. I toe bag at an angle. Maybe that will help
I try to give my house plants showers a couple of times a year to freshen them up and get rid of potential surface build up, and as long as the soil is reasonably dry beforehand, and the plant sits in a pot and soil with good drainage, it’s not a problem if the soil gets wet. The superfluous water drains away and even though it might take longer before the plants need water next time, it hasn’t seemed to harm any of my them. Just let them sit in the shower/bathtub until they’re no longer giving off water before returning them to their place. When I have an infestation and need to shower a plant about twice a week for a while to keep the pests from making a comeback I’m more careful about how much water hit the soil, and consider the showers to be their watering for that period. I mostly have fairly sturdy green plants though, so not sure if it works the same with more delicate plants.
Was hoping you would do a video on pest control. Can't say I have the nerve to release MORE bugs in my apartment but I am impressed by how hardcore you are
I’m so thankful I found your video...I can’t thank you and the people that had the question on Gnats enough because I just ordered some mosquito bits and am SO excited to get rid of those! I had no luck with ANYTHING as of yet with a remedy & was getting gnats in my coffee & guinea pig cage especially my plant soil because of the richness (apparently from what you said) that I used this season in my houseplant pots...so thank you so much for your feedback on that!! I live in Texas so hopefully the mosquitos around my house will disappear greatly after the use of this product. So it’s a win win there... YAY! 👍🏻😊 thanks
Thank you for this valuable information, one question that probably someone already asked but I wasn't able to find: Will the Mosquito Bits affect in any way the lacewings? Thank you!
Also wondering this, did you ever find an answer?
I hate the thought of using bugs to get rid of bugs. I don’t want bugs period!
Solved the problem! Tried the vinegar, sucked them up with the vacuum. Did all the positive organic methods. Did not use poison or infest my house with other insects. It's 32º out, had a couple of pepper plants, some basil, and some bean that were taking off great. My house was having infestation issues. Put it all outside no more bugs. Gardening see you in the spring.
i find if u hav gnats and mites, take the plant to the hose, lean the plant over 90 degrees, then carefully jet hose water off the under side of the leafs, use pressure to blast all the mites off, then do other plants if they have mites. continue to look for mites on all plants, if you discover 1 mite, blast with hose outside again. zero tollerance policy.
Why not build a wall instead)!(
you can also sprinkle the mosquito bits directly on the soil of your plants,to get rid of the gnats that are flying hang fly paper near a light and when you go to bed only leave that one light on
Stephen Greer great idea! Will try the light thing.
You have a wonderful vibe and shiny light. I appreciate that you share with us your love for plants.
I've popped sundews in the windows and the gnats seem lo love feeding themselves to the sticky sundew plants!
would love to see those lace wings in action sounds so cool!
What do you do with the beneficial insects when the mealybugs are gone?
My fast solution for Fungus Gnats. I've tried all of the recommended solutions..yellow sticky paper/cups, Apple cider vinegar, wine, sand and even Mosquito bits. You have to infuse the Mosquito bits for a day or two and even that won't kill them instantly. Also you don't want your pets to ingest any bits or infused water. Sand on the top layer only had them coming out of the drain holes. These remedies just did not work fast enough so I had to learn about my enemy. What I learned is that their eggs are probably in your soil when you potted your indoor plant. They thrive and hatch when conditions are right- moist warm rich soil. Typical of house plants. They also breed and lay their eggs there. To combat them you need to break the cycle. What worked and worked FAST was just putting sweet tea(Arnold Palmer style even better)in shallow lids or caps around my plants. I happen to check on them about an hour or so later and was amazed at how many were drowned in the tea. I rinsed the lids and refilled. Checked back later and had caught a lot more. I'd say after about a half day the infestation was probably about 75% gone! Everything I needed was in my kitchen and refreshing!
You're so beautiful! You remind me of a friend from the past in the 70's
Thank you! You also remind me of someone I went to school with in college in the 70's. Wonderful presentation!
So what happens to the lace wings once they’re adults? Do they just live in your house or will they find there way out, cause I’m not sure how I feel about them hanging out afterward but I do like the idea
Your channel is amazing in so many ways Summer! I love your passion for growing!🌸 Great information, we get mealy bugs and aphids here in Florida like crazy. I'm always treating the soil to my succulents outside.. I think it's awesome you don't use pesticides.. I want to try lady bugs for bug control because I heard they really eat a lot of the bad ones. I use organic Neem oil instead of harsh chemicals for bugs and fungus. I love your idea for taking care of pests with natural remedies. Thank you so much for sharing!!
Have you ever tried an essential oil defuser around your house plants? Lately I have had trouble with fungus gnats so I don’t water so much and then get spider mites because it’s dry. My lemon tree leaves are suffering. Recently I top dressed them with diatomaceous earth and wondered if it would be benificial to run a defuser with peppermint oil to deter aphids??? Any thoughts
I like this idea. I will try it because why not!?
I have also had gnats on my lemon seedlings recently and used traps and hydrogen peroxide. They worked right away. If you have a bigger infestation, the traps can take a few weeks to really catch them all.
My solution for bug problems is to place the afflicted plant in a closed container with a Vapona No Pest Strip for a few days. Depending on the size of the plant I may use a bucket that I stretch plastic wrap over the top or if it is a large plant I use a garbage bag or pail. The reason I use a closed container is I don't relish the idea of breathing the fumes that the strip emits. It is supposed to be harmless to humans by why chance it. I also like the idea of having a real concentrated dose of the vapor around the plant. After the plant has been dosed I put the strip back in it's package and seal it well so as to preserve it for the net attack.
Omg I am so happy I found this video! I am new to the plant world and have fungus gnats. I tried the ACV and dish soup trick. It kinda works but it leaves my plant room/study smelling awful! I order the mosquito bits before I even finished the video! Thank you!
Hi, what is that lime green colored plant on bottom right? It looks amazing!
Hi Summer Rayne!.. I'm Olivia Keane from Indonesia. Thank's.. for your information.. I like. N nice to know you. 👍👍😃🙏🙏
Thanks for the "Mosquiti Bits" -- those nasty annoying gnats are going down!
Super helpful thank you!
Going to try the mosquito bits. Until now I used yellow sticky paper to fight gnats. And I've been cleaning off mealy bugs manually with a swap as a form of stress reliever haha
YAY First commenter!! I love how you don't use pesticides to get rid of bugs. Thank You Summer =)
Very helpful video .. starred watching your videos a few weeks ago and I find them all this far so informative and helpful. Your place is AMAZING .. thanks for sharing it all with us 😊
ivy is my favorite houseplant, but spider plants just love attacking every one i have, it’s rough
What do you do with the lacewings after they are finished with the pests? Do you just let them complete their life cycle? How long do they live? Do they lay eggs. Then you get a new army of pest management? 🤔
Thank you for another great video. If you plant garlic cloves around in various pots it will deter a lot of pests from the plants. Ladybugs/ladybirds are also great and will stay on the plant as long as aphids remain.
Summer Rayne, I have a question regarding your way of controlling fungus gnats, with mosquito bits. You said you soak them in water and then water your plants with them, what is the ratio of bits to water and how long do you let them soak before watering. I’m trying to get rid of gnats now and I need some extra help! i love all your videos btw! Thank you!
Justin Did the find the answer to this question? I'm wondering this too. How did you get on with it one year later? Problem solved?
Hi Summer. So my first experience with lacewing larvae was not the best (probably my fault). They came from California and most of them appeared dead upon arrival. I guess I should have chosen overnight shipping because it took a few days for them to get to Maine. We went around our house carefully placing the live larvae on plants that had had problems (with toothpicks, it took hours). While doing this, I noticed that one leaf on my Alocasia amazonica was COVERED with spider mites and webs. (I'm 62 and don't always see problems when watering, even when I use a magnifying glass). Anyway, this plant was doing so well, it had two new leaves (a total of 4 leaves) even though just a few months ago it only had 1. So this morning, I rinsed it off in the shower and sprayed the heck out of it with Neem oil. I am going to order more larvae but use overnight shipping this time to help manage the pests. I won't put them on the plant I'm treating with Neem of course. I've told 3 people about the lacewings and they all said the same thins, "So now you're going to have bugs all over your house?" Hehe, yep. Anything for my plants!
So I'm hearing that if you get lacewings that they bite and they will bite. How have you found this to be? And you're talking about Neem as I ask you this and ugh. I hate Neem. Lmao hate it! It smells and it doesn't work
