This probably sounds weird, but I have a 360 worm farm that's producing gnats like crazy. The gnat trap can't keep up. Is this product safe to use in the worm farm?

Bury your food deeper and don't over feed. I had a pest problem with my worm bin, different pest, but decided to use nematodes to destroy larva instead of Gnatrol. Gnatrol does not work on adults, only larva. Your adult gnats likely have or will find other homes in your house plants. Gnatrol will help you there.

I goggled it and here's what came up: http://www.redwormcomposting.com/worm-composting/fungus-gnats-in-worm-compost-bins/ and http://www.redwormcomposting.com/worm-composting/fungus-gnats-in-worm-compost-bins/

I've had a redworm bin for 21 years without having to buy more worms. I've had many fungus gnat and fruit fly infestations and have used this product many times. (Usually I move the bin outside, wait several days until the gnats disappear, then start a new bin using worms harvested from a worm bin I moved outside in my previous infestation cycle, hopefully many months before. I'm always afraid it will be only 99.9% effective and I'll breed resistance if I start out with too many gnats.)

I'm just a customer who bought this. In my opinion you should be able to use apple cider vinegar to kill the flies. My fly trap status worth 30 flies in it at all times.

This product repels gnats, it will not get rid of them. This is for biting gnats. Your plants have fungus gnats. Two different kinds.

I keep it outside on the shaded side of my patio, it doesn't have an odor, and the worms are thriving, even in 100 degree heat. There eating like crazy. I feed them vegetable pulp from my juicer every three day. There are these nats crawling around in the dirt, but was told this was normal. I made my own worm farm from plastic tubs, and have added a second tub stacked on the first one,due to the worms multiplying so fast. I hope this helps you.

My girls had sticktight fleas. I used the dust and spread diamataceous earth on the hen house floor every time I clean out the hen house. They will make your chickens sick and lay less eggs if you can't control them. I have not seen any lice or fleas on them since using this method.

I dont see any gnats in my traps. Just flys. A bug zapper might work. If your have problems inside the house i use a Fly Web Fly Trap. Pricey, but it work on gnats, fruit flies, and fly's.

If you mean 'gnats,' those are fruit flies. We hang a fly-paper strip nearby and it seems to get most of them. Also, when you dump the Norpro into your compost pile, make sure you wash it well before taking back into the house. We hose it down and let it dry before bringing it back in.

gnats are easily trapped and die. Anything that flies into the lighted area seems to be trapped. I keep a can of fly spray, and when I empty the cage sometimes shoot a small blast into it if some of the various flying insects are still moving about. Most of the time they are all dead. I empty it out amout once a month.

Effective for round worms only, that is usually the worms kittens get, This is a wonderful product. Works right away, and you give second dose as recomended on bottle. Hope this is helpful.

Sounds like you have the cycle right, how much product are you using? I used full recommended strength until I saw the gnat population decline. I also use the sticky yellow cards to monitor and kill adult gnats. Sometimes there is a single plant that is just too infested. Do recognize, though, that this product only kills larva, not adult bugs. You will have to wait until they die off. I have used this product for two cycles over several months. Both times it did the job. But it ain't easy. You have to stand strong and have a solution for the adult gnats, too.

It works great. I have 31 dead gnats sitting on this sticky paper right now. These are 31 gnats that didn't end up in my food or drinking water. I don't hardly ever see any more of these bugs flying in front of my face anymore. Very nice!

I believe this is for worms. I had something similar but very minor affliction. Not sure if they were actually leaf miners. However, after use, I had ZERO bug problems. Also, I went all and my tomato/hot pepper plants looked like it had snowed - I didn't just dust the plants. My understanding is that the powder is very sharp and then ingested and crawled over and shreds the worms. Does it work for Leaf miners? I wouldn't think so. After Googling it, neem oil is recommended a lot and Martin's Viper Dust claims it kills them. Good luck!

We have been using it for years with very good results in many different infestations, and so far it has worked every time with no ill effects, it usually takes a few days and sometimes another application, but it does work. As far as safe, we always read the label and follow the directions, so even though I have not done any research it would seem safe to me. Hope this helps you.

I definitely get some heat from the compost in mine.It seems to help on my unheated back porch down to the forties and we will find out soon about the thirties.I think zero would really be pushing it and in your situation would build a cabinet for the worm farm. I would include a provision for a small electric heater in case the compost needs a bit of help to keep the worms from freezing.

I have never used a thuricide product for fly or gnat control. I would not expect it to be effective for this. These type of product is very effective for the control of caterpillar-type pest.

I have mine in my kitchen. No smell rarely fruit flies as long as I maintain keeping it taken care of. You will kill the worms if you put it outside in those temps since the bin itself has not insulation or a place for the worms to go deep in the ground during the winter if they were living in the ground. Do you have a garage? You could put it there during extreme weather temps. Worms like it when the temp is consistent. Nothing over 80 for mine. I rarely put it outside here in southern California as we get ups and downs of temps. If you have a greenhouse or hot house you could put them there. Not sure I helped much.

I have only used these with hydroponic system. I Still have to combat gnats so I doubt it would get rid of all insects.
