Seen this today and just thought I’d share for anyone that might be interested or looking for gnat control.

It would be interesting to know the concentrations of BTi in the various products to get a firm handle on what we are buying

I don't like the idea of using pesticides in a plant that produces food. I have been using the Zevo plugins for almost a year now and it has been great here. It attracts all kinds of insects like gnats, mosquitoes and flies. I have one in my kitchen, sunroom, and 2 bathrooms. For some reason mosquitoes are drawn to wherever there are sinks.

@DCallahan
I was thinking the same thing. I looked online but could not find an actual % of the BTI for the Knock out gnats product.

AI (so take it with a grain of salt) places it in between Gnatrol and mosquito bits for % of BTI, saying they are very high, high, and low concentrations.

Me neither, but the active ingredient in both Gnatrol and Mosquito Bits is BTI short for some long scientific name of a particular strain of bacteria that naturally targets fungus gnat larvae. That is one of the things. I really appreciate about using products with BTI.
