I keep my snail terrarium on my garden table (I figure if they come from my garden, they can handle the weather out there) and I have a problem with all the gnats. I know I need to remove their food during the day, and I have a pillbug or two as a cleanup crew, but I’m not really sure what else to do :( if anyone has any tips I’d really appreciate it, I can only light so much incense haha

    Apple cider vinegar and a couple of drops of dish detergent to break the surface tension. They’ll fly into because it smells good and and drown because they can’t stand on the vinegar when there is no surface tension. Use this all the time in my kitchen.

      Can confirm this method works, I do it when I get an invasion on occasion. Beer will also work in a pinch for some bugs. Saran wrap a container of beer and poke some holes in the top, bugs go in, can’t get out and drown.
