I got this sand to cover the top soil of my house plants to keep out unwanted house guests, fungus gnats. It’s pointless trying to keep them out of your house entirely because they’re so small that they can fit through any screen, but they only to get in when your plants have root rot, and your soil is too wet. To prevent both of these problems: 1. Cover your potted plants top soil with a couple inches of this sand. This stops fungus gnats from laying eggs in your soil and it suffocates and living eggs or gnats that are already in your soil. 2. Stop watering your plants from the top, and instead water them from the bottom using potting saucers that are a few inches deep. Which keeps you from over or under watering your plants, and preventing root rot entirely. The trick is to let your plants sit in about 3” of water, and wait 20 minutes. That way they have plenty of water and time to drink as much as they need. This method has helped me, and my (indoor and outdoor) plants immensely, and has kept all those pesky fungus gnats (and other bugs), away from my plants and my home. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mosser Lee ML1112 Black Sand Soil Cover, 5 lb. - Fruit Fly Traps Fungus Gnat Traps Yellow Sticky Bug Traps 36 Pack No Harm and Odorless for Indoor Outdoor Use Protect The Plant - Summit 116-12 Quick Kill Mosquito Bits, 8-Ounce --- ## 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/5950574-ml1112-black-sand-soil-cover-5-lb](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/5950574-ml1112-black-sand-soil-cover-5-lb) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-10-07*
