I have a huge gnat problem! These sticky traps were put in only 24 hours before the photo! I know they are harmless but this is too much. How can I keep them at bay?
I am currently taking out all of the substrate (use fill dirt) and I am baking it. Once all the dirt is baked I am going to wipe down the enclosure with hydrogen peroxide before putting the dirt back in.
I know they are going to come back but how can I keep them at manageable levels?
I have seen a lot of people suggest springtails but I’m worried they will get just as bad. What about isopods? Any other ideas?
My tortoise is a 2 year old leopard in a 8 foot by 3 foot indoor enclosure. I live in Midwest USA so it’s too cold for my tortoise to be outside this time of year.
