You can also buy "knockout gnats" (a liquid form of some kind of bacteria. I need to know if this would be safe on cps? It does a fantastic job of killing the fungus gnat larvae.

That's great! I've gotten so swarmed with them that no one method worked. Had to combine everything and the link I gave is the only place that sold the knockout gnats liquid.

I'll see how my cps like fungus gnat.

Please note: This posting was because of someone mentioning the soil for his vft being covered with fungus gnat larvae.
 
Just put some Utrics in the pot and your fungus gnat problem will end

Fungus gnats aren't the problem. The larvae definately is. They are vengeful little buggers. En mass the little translucent worms can completely bore into the rhizome of a plant in the search for food and destroy everything in a pot. I've seen them cut 8" P. 'Aphrodite' leaves clear off of the plant in hopes of dropping it closer to the substrate for more to attack.

Not the most fun pet. That's a reason right there that I stopped using any organics in mexi-ping pots.

Any clue what the active ingredients in the liquid are?
