How do you kill house plant bugs that attack the roots?
Question:The bugs are little tiny almost gnat worm looking, but all the pesticides i have tried for gnats do not work. They are black, brown and white and i can not get rid of them. I find them just under the top dirt and around the roots. They are now in all of my houseplants :( Help please
Answers:
The type of insecticide that you want is called a systemic. It is used to treat the plaint and after it is absorbed it will reach the roots.thus killing the insect that is attacking it.
With bleach and boiling water.
