I have looked around for those here in Connecticut and seem unable
to find them. I had once heard that they were less "safe" than many
sprays. On another newslist I heard that people were using flea collars
and putting a small cutting from a collar in their pots to maintain control.
I have not tried either of these and cannot comment on their effectiveness.
I personally tend to use Safer's Soap and an occasional alcohol swab,
but my new greenhouse has yet to have any MAJOR breakouts that
needed more aggressive action. I do have some fungus gnats just now
and am planning to get some GNATROL for them to ingest.
