Review: Fungus gnats gone - Absolutely amazing product! I bought a peace lily plant, which is very beautiful and thrives wonderfully, giving me bloom after bloom. However, it was also badly infested with fungus gnats. I watered it once with this product, and all the flies were gone. It’s been 4 months since, and they have never returned. I’m so happy I bought this item. It’s expensive, but definitely worth the price. Review: The only thing that actually works - I've learned much more about fungus gnats (sciarid flies) than I ever wanted to. Where do they come from? In my case, they were flitting in through an open window. But they can hitch a ride on anything that has soil. I've even spotted them around potted live herbs sold at my supermarket. The adults are teeny little suckers, but they can swoop in and drop a load of gnat eggs in a second--producing over 200 eggs in their short 2-week adult lifespan. If any of those eggs end up in your houseplant soil, you have a houseplant infested with gnat larvae (like minuscule maggots). They wriggle around in the soil, ravenously eating anything they can: fungus obviously--as their name implies--but also the delicate root tips of your poor plant! When the larvae are well-fed and ready, they pupate into adults, and the Circle of Life starts all over again, much to your horror. I wasted time trying a long series of mild and ineffective home remedies. Cinnamon? These bugs just yawned at the stuff. Neem oil? It made my sitting room smell like burnt tires, but the gnats weren't bothered a bit. Drying out the soil? This may be the worst thing you can do; as soon as the fungus dries up, those hungry larvae move on to the next available food source: the juicy, tender plant roots. Don't waste time on any of that. Sticky tape and cinnamon are not going to help you in a war situation. This product is more like a biological warfare agent on the gnat battlefield. No, literally, it is a bag of dried plant bits soaked in bacteria (Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies), which is lethal to the gnat larvae. Read the directions on the bag; they are very clear and easy to follow. You soak the dried plant bits in warm water to release and revive the bacteria; then, pour the resulting bacteria broth into the soil. The bacteria infects the larvae, and they die. This breaks the life cycle, so fewer adults will emerge from the soil after about a week. Don't let up, though; the adults still flying around are not affected by the bacteria, so they will still be busy dropping fresh batches of eggs. Hold your nerve and treat the soil again every week for about three or four weeks. By then, all the adults will have all died off (from old age), and any eggs left will have hatched, and any larvae will have become infected. It's not an instant solution by any means, but it is the only thing that actually works. I plan to keep treating my plants once a month or so from now on--the bacteria is harmless to the plants (and anything else that is not a gnat larvae), and you never know when one of those gnats might sneak in from outside or on a newly-bought plant friend. ## Features - Use biocides safely.

Because fungus gnats are soil based, and this is designed to dissolve slowly in water, you can either add it into water that you use for watering or place on top of soil. For either option, I would break it up first into far smaller pieces, or if adding to water, let it stand over-night before watering. And I always used far more than recommended amount for fungus gnats.. **Q: Is this product best for ponds, or soil?** A: Ponds and water features **Q: Is this safe to use in a large chlorinated paddling pool?** A: It won't work in chlorinated water, because the chlorine will kill the bacteria before the mosquito larvae can eat them **Q: Only 4% of ingredients are shown. 97% of the ingredients are listed as 'other ingredients'. Summit, for safety what are these unlisted ingredients?** A: Don’t know as I never used the product and had to return it due to high cost ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fungus gnats gone *by S***R on 4 August 2025* Absolutely amazing product!

I’ve been using these mosquito bits consistently for a few weeks now and they do help to reduce fungus gnats. However, they don’t do it 100% - they’re best used as part of a hybrid method approach - with yellow sticky traps and a spray. The size of the pack is ok, maybe slightly small for the price, but not daylight robbery by any means. That said, I have repurchased these a few times as I find them better than other solutions. They are easy to use (soak in water for 30 minutes to an hour and then drain them out - do NOT leave them sitting in water for ages as they will start to smell pretty bad). ## Frequently Bought Together - Summit 116-12 Quick Kill Mosquito - Summit...responsible solutions 110-12 Mosquito Dunks, 6-Pack - Cleanuper 58 Pcs Flying Insect Traps for Plants,Indoors, Outdoors, Kitchen, Office, Yellow Sticky Traps for Fungus Gnat, Fly and Flying Insects, Non-Toxic & Odorless, Kid & Pet Safe, Economic Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/50099595-summit-116-12-quick-kill-mosquito-bits-8-ounce](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/50099595-summit-116-12-quick-kill-mosquito-bits-8-ounce) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
