Kate's Garden Plant Spray for Insects & Getting Rid of Gnats. Fungus Gnat Killer & Bug Spray for Indoor Plants (16oz, Pet Safe, Non Toxic)

There's a really long review on here that claims that the scent of this product made a home uninhabitable. I just want to point out that this product is effective but yes, essential oils are strongly scented. However, if you read that review and others that claim the scent is too much, you'll note that they've used far too much of this product. One review claims to have used more than 3/4 of the bottle in what seems like 1 or 2 applications. That's an alarming overuse! Too Much! Note: it's a 16 oz bottle and if you were using essential oils on their own they are typically dispensed in DROPS. Spraying 1/2 a bottle is way outside the recommended use of this product so it's not surprising the user had some challenges. Another review also complains of the scent but verifies they are using 2-3 times a day which is also not the recommended usage. Recommended usage is reapplication every 1-2 WEEKS. I have tested this product and like that it is natural, safe, and effective. My gnat problem is greatly diminished after a few uses and I'm sure after one additional dose I'll be in the clear. My plants are all still healthy. The gnats are not. That's all I am looking for in this product. Please read all reviews but note what the recommended usage is and weigh the review against that before making a decision. I find this product to be exactly what I am looking for without harmful chemicals and the bonus of a nice essential oils scent when used properly. 12/2024 update: My Gnats are gone 100%. My plants all still survive. I suggest spraying as directed on the schedule that is recommended. Do not soak your plants. Don't overspray the leaves. The gnats and the eggs live in the soil, so spray the soil as directed on the bottle and your gnats won't survive. I'm SUPER happy with this product. It was safe, natural, and easy to use. I have more than 1/2 bottle remaining of the one and only bottle I purchased. (I had to treat all the plants in a single room, so approximately 25 pots/plants needed treatment.)

It works! Hallelujah!! I have been battling gnats forever without success. This product had mixed reviews so I wasn't sure it would work, but I am telling you after just ONE application, I am seeing ZERO live gnats where moments before there were multitudes. I am so happy! Finally! As far as the fragrance associated with the spray, I thought it was pleasant. It smells like the essential oils in its formulation. Truthfully, I would still use it even if it smelled rancid because it really works! I am so glad I found this product.

I was given a new plant and with it a gnat problem. I tried using the sticky traps and thought that took care of the issue but the next cycle they were back in full force. I purchased this based on the positive reviews, but would not recommend for several reasons. The smell is pleasant at first, but it is VERY strong and does not dissipate. I used this product over a week ago and my home still smells very strongly of peppermint/citronella. Additionally, the label states safe for indoor use but after treating plants in only 3 rooms of my house, I got an air quality notification from our EcoBee that the air quality was poor and VOC levels were extremely high. I stopped treating with this product leaving the rest of my plants untreated knowing that defeats the purpose but at that point I was realizing the odor doesn’t go away and the mint was so strong it was starting to burn my son’s eyes (he wasn’t even on the same floor as me). I had to open windows (in January) for two days to get the air quality to drop to acceptable levels. Note that I had used 3/4 of the bottle in a 3,500sf home and it almost made it uninhabitable. Lastly, the instructions say to test on one leaf for an hour prior to treating. I have probably 100 plants so I chose 5 plants to test on and actually waited several hours since I tested before work and treated in the afternoon. The leaves showed no issues at the time, but treatment for gnats was to soak the soil, which is what I did. I didn’t notice any issues until a few days later when several plants started to droop. The guidance for the test is not sufficient. I’m pretty disappointed. Some of my plants will not recover. Others I’m hoping will pull through. Many, like my peace lily, I’ve had for years and we’re very large healthy plants. I do not recommend using this product. I treated the rest of the plants with a BioAdvance 3-1 spray and that had no I’ll affect on those plants. I’m hopeful between the two, the gnat issue is taken care of.

I used this on 9 houseplants. On the 10th, the sprayer stopped working. Super frustrating. I received the second bottle (returned the first). The sprayer works well on this one and the product smells great and so far is working well.

This plant spray has a clean, natural formula that makes it easy to use on indoor plants without worrying about harsh chemicals. The scent is mild, and the mist sprays evenly without soaking the leaves. It’s helpful for keeping small pests under control and maintaining healthier looking plants. For heavier insect problems it might need more frequent applications, but overall it’s a nice option for regular upkeep and prevention.

Works and smells great!

Boy I got so much to say good about this product first of all let me say that I've been fighting with fungus nats for 3 years they've cut my yield in half and let me tell you it's been rough going for the last 3 years until I found this stuff. It works really good. Sprayed on the soil sprayed on the plant. I use half the bottle and then filled it up with water distilled water and then sprayed it on the plants and that I hadn't done with the other but have and it did the same job so you can dilute it. It's that good. I love the stuff. I'm going to buy it forever. It's not only good for fungus naps. I understand it's good for all natural. I love it and I think it got rid of some mice that I had in my my grow area. Also cuz it's scared of the smell tell it's not overpowering kind of a little strong but it's a good smell. Order this stuff if you have any pesting problems with your gardens indoors plants anything. Thanks!

This product I feel worked short term. The treatment period worked for a few days before the gnats came back and I would have to do another treatment. I had to use the entire bottle to get rid of my gnat problem on a single plant (large pathos, newly bought) The sprayer on the bottle worked but was not the greatest quality. I will say, the product did not harm my plant. This product used natural ingredients, which I appreciate. The smell is tolerable though, I would treat outside, let the treatment set and then, bring inside.
