Trauermücken- / Trauermückenbekämpfung

Fungus gnats (also known as sciarid flies) are one of the most common challenges faced by indoor growers. These small pests can damage seedlings, disrupt root development, and weaken plants if left unchecked. The good news? With the right tools and strategies, you can effectively manage and eliminate fungus gnats from your grow room.

Recommended Fungus Gnat Control Products

• Neem Oil — a natural insecticide that disrupts the gnat life cycle and protects your plants safely.
• Beneficial Nematodes / Diatomaceous Earth — biological and physical barriers that attack gnat larvae in the soil and prevent future infestations.
• Growth Technology Oxygen — a hydrogen peroxide-based treatment that oxygenates roots while killing larvae and adult gnats on contact.
• Sticky Traps — simple but effective for monitoring and reducing adult populations.

For best results, combine these treatments with propagation care (young plants are most vulnerable), root stimulators (to help plants recover from root damage), and humidity management (gnats thrive in damp environments). Regular grow room cleaning also reduces breeding sites and keeps pests under control.

Fungus Gnat Control FAQs

What causes fungus gnats?
They thrive in damp conditions and organic-rich soil. Overwatering and poor drainage are the most common triggers.

Can fungus gnats kill plants?
Yes—while adults are more of a nuisance, larvae feed on delicate roots, which can stunt or kill young plants.

How do I get rid of fungus gnats permanently?
Use a layered approach: sticky traps for adults, nematodes or neem drenches for larvae, and manage humidity/overwatering to prevent recurrence.

Are these treatments safe for plants?
Yes—all recommended products are plant-safe when used correctly. Neem oil, nematodes, and diatomaceous earth are organic, while oxygen-based treatments double as root oxygen boosters.
