Frequently Asked Questions

How fast will I see results?

Most customers begin seeing a noticeable reduction in gnats within 2–4 days. Effectiveness depends on following the directions and avoiding overwatering during treatment. Don't throw your plant away yet, there's hope! If you're plant is in a huge planter your topsoil will take more time to dry and lengthen the time before you can apply the DE Powder, Diatomaceous Earth works, it really keeps gnats form entering and exiting your soil.

Will Diatomaceous Earth harm my plant?

No, The only ingredients in the Gnat kits are Diatomaceous Earth and BTI. Diatomaceous Earth is a fossil powder comparable to a fine seashell powder that affects insect's exoskeleton and provides a barrier on the topsoil and dissolves in time with watering or can be mixed into the soil for a more attractive look once the gnats are gone.

Will BTI harm my plant?

No, BTI is a helpful bacteria that doesn't affect your plants or roots in any way. Gnat larva will ingest the bacteria and die within hours and the bacteria itself will die eventually. As long as you water with the BTI Tea only on your plants watering schedule so that the plant doesn't get overwatered and create root rot killing the plant.

Is this safe to use indoors?

Yes. The kit is designed specifically for indoor houseplants. Always apply as directed and keep loose materials away from pets and children, just as you would with any household plant care product.

Are these kits safe for pets and children?

Yes! Just like powdered sugar or flour your lungs wont appreciate inhaling it so spread DE with care or wear a dust mask or cloth over your nose. There are no chemicals in the kit, it's all natural. The sticky traps are completely non-toxic and safe for use around pets and children. The adhesive is plant-based and contains no harmful chemicals. However, keep them out of direct reach as they are sticky and not meant to be touched.

Can I buy these ingredients at the hardware store or order them online elsewhere?

Yes, diatomaceous earth and BTI can be found at many hardware stores or nurseries. What makes our kit special is the convenience. Instead of purchasing large, bulky bags or bottles of each ingredient separately, our kit provides the right amount you need in one simple package. That means no unnecessary excess, no large dusty bags in your home, and no guesswork—just an easy, effective solution for your plants.

Is Aqua Earth safe for all Plants?

Yes. It’s safe for houseplants, herbs, and decorative plants when used as directed .It can help reduce the need for distilled water by improving tap water quality.

Does it come with Directions?

Only the kits come with directions, if you purchase BTI or DE alone then you may use to your discretion.

BTI is typically used by soaking 2 TBL spoons per gallon of water for at least 2 hours so that the helpful bacteria activates. If you don't have teabags you can just pour BTI granules directly in your watering can and scoop out with a spoon, they will eventually mold if left on top soil.

Diatomaceous Earth can just be spread on the topsoil enough to form a nice barrier. Your plant will still be able to breathe and when the gnats are gone the DE powder can be mixed into the soil and will eventually dissolve in time after several waterings/

Sticky traps catch the adults, but they don’t stop the eggs or larvae.

For real results, you need a full system. That’s why we pair traps with BTI tea and diatomaceous earth.

To kill gnats at every stage and end the infestation for good.

Common Mistakes

🎯 Say Goodbye to Fungus Gnats – For Good!

Tried rocks, sand, or moss?

❌ Doesn’t stop gnats—they still sneak in through drainage holes.

Only using sticky traps?

❌ You’ll catch some adults, but eggs keep the cycle going.

Predatory bugs or carnivorous plants?

❌ Pricey, short-term, and not ideal indoors.

The Real Solution?

✅ BTI Tea – Steep BTI bits in water (like tea!) and pour to kill larvae.

✅ Diatomaceous Earth – Stops eggs & pupae when dry.

✅ Sticky Traps – Catch flying adults.

✅ Dry Out Soil – Keep gnats from coming back.

💚 Safe, organic, non-toxic for people, pets, and pollinators.

💚 Works on fungus gnats, mosquitoes, & blackflies.
