It worked for me.
For the fungus gnats larvae ...
I use mixture of water and Peroxide (4 to 1) on my seedlings 1-2 times a week for prevention or to stop infestation. Just watering soil.
I do dust soil of seedlings with DE as well.
In the garden, marigolds help with fungus gnats. The roots are poisoned to larvae.

I got to thinking while I was transplanting some seedlings. Using the Hydrogen Peroxide while seedlings are in the house would work good I think, but what about when they are transplanted. Will the hydrogen peroxide kill off the good bacteria in the Tomato Tone?
