    tutorial The Pest Guide

    Also, I do not think fungus gnats threat level is about right. Even indoors, on the current scoring, it's higher than mites or aphids.

    Anyone using Solar to offset their electricity?

    greenhouse placing some peppers in greenhouse

    Honestly I would wait till the end of the month. The lowest we had here in the last 4 months were around 3-4 and most of peppers left outside died.     Not to mention, exactly one year ago it snowed here and it went to close to 0 degrees...hopefully not the case this year :pray:

    Fungus Gnats Are Killing Me!!!

    Try using vacuum. I  use a mini table vacuum cleaner that runs on rechargeable batteries. I catch several dozen just by waiving it over the plants. I've found sticky traps working too slow, it does the job done, but very slow.
