Okay things I learned today: 1. If you buy a new plant, try to quarantine it for ~2 weeks to see if it maybe has some trouble with vermin. I now will dedicate one window sill for this, probably the bathroom, bc a lot of the little fuckers love wet air and will show themselves

2. Buy soil that was, and I kid you not, heated. Most vermin and their eggs die under high temperatures. If you're on a budged a tiny trick will do too: And I am not kidding again, heat your soil in the oven. At least 200°C for 15-20 Minutes.

3. If you have the money and time, replant every plant you buy, try to get off as much from the original soil as possible, wash out the plastic pot it comes in with boiling water.

Luckily my vermins don't kill my plants (at least most of them got stuck on the yellow stickers) but gosh I have them flying around me indoors now because my living room is warmer than outside and those larvae have been hiding. It's so damn annoying. Agree with your methods!

Seems like you got fungus gnats, I’ve tried the yellow stickers for a bit and they only helped a bit but! I’ve recently started using mosquito bits and mosquito bit water,It’s been working great so far! @saeria_ what do yours look like?
