I need help with gnats!! Does anyone know of an organic gnat killer that will not hurt my moss?

 

This is very easy to control. You can buy this flying insect spray that is pyrethrins goes by 2 names Purge Brand or Country Vet brand.Spray a cotton ball with this and put inside your terrarium etc (DO NOT USE IF YOU HAVE ANY LIVING ANIMALS) I have an automatic sprayer in my house that dispenses this 24 hours a day for all kinds of flys etc. It is even used in restaurants to kill bugs so it is fine to use in your terrariums. Close the lid and after a few minutes they will all be dead. If they have laid eggs then it will be another process when those hatch. If you have gnats in your house this is how they can also get in if you leave your lid off for air. The machine can be bought at feed supply stores cocops etc even large cleaning supply stores stock it . I get mine online a bit cheaper.
