This term applies to a very large group of insects some of which damage the roots of plants. Usually they are just a nuisance as they hover around over-ripe fruit in a fruit bowl. They are often mistaken for fruit fly. Adult fungal gnats are attracted to damp conditions and decomposing organic matter.

Suggested Organic Strategies:

• Store kitchen compost in well sealed containers;

• Use sticky yellow traps;

• Use sprouted wheat grain as a trap crop
