Yep that worked.
I found fungus gnats under my tea bags a few weeks back. I applied gnatrol, then again this past weekend, and i'll do it again this weekend. Hoping this will wipe out any remaining gnats.
I know some people put insecticides in with their fertilizer mix inside the tea bags. Seems like a good idea as long as no dogs or cats can get to them. I may add a bonide pelletized systemic to my bags next time around. Maybe something like this...

I like the idea of bags but my last batch of bags disintegrated and left only cakes on my trees after that heavy 2 week rain we had a couple weeks back. They usually last much much longer before breaking down. I guess it's not a big problem as I can still remove the tea bag shaped globs, but since it's raining daily and looks like it's going to continue to rain daily for the next 7-10 days i figure they're getting their daily fertilizer none the less. I need to find more heavy duty bleach free bags for my next application.
I use one of these on each of my benches constantly during the growing season. They fold up into little triangular cones, i use them yellow side out.

Mine are usually covered within a week during the summer with flys, gnats, wasps, the occasional beetle, the occasional bee..., it will catch both good and bad bugs. I like them more or less so that I can see if theres an uptick in any harmful populations, it gives me a warning before an infestation can get severe.
