  2. Perfect timing! I also use the yellow sticky things. I didn’t know aphids come inside!😮
    To save on costs, I’m wondering if you ever use homemade recipes for this?
    Thank you for all the suggestions on keeping the area clean. I’m going to get to work on that before my husband gets home.😂 He barely tolerates my gardening. 👩🏼‍🌾

  3. I've not had any indoor plants for awhile due to fungus gnats driving me crazy. The few plants I had I repotted with potting soil that was infested. I tried everything to get rid of them. Is there a potting soil that is less likely to be infested to start with. Good to know you can sterilize with boiling water.

  4. Earlier in the season, I had a problem with aphids coming inside through the screens, thousands of them each night. I purchased an indoor bug zapper—problem solved. It killed thousands of them, decimating the population, and It attracted the aphids, keeping them from swarming me until they got zapped. It killed a lot of other bugs too, house flies, moths, and other flying bugs. It was one of the best investments I made last summer.
