4. Pour enough 3% hydrogen peroxide to wet the top inch or two of the soil. This kills the larva outright.
I use Hydrogen Peroxide to kill surface mold. It works well, but i was unsure if it was safe for the plant roots. I wasn't aware of anyone else using it for cps. I was kinda hesitant so I've only sprayed the surface on certain occasions, never letting it soak down into the soil, but if it's safe to soak the soil with it than it's even more effective than i thought. I second this method.

Yeah, I've found that my pings are even better gnat killers than my sundews. Not sure exactly why, but my pings have decimated gnat populations in a day or two whenever they showed up. The pings were covered in them, and the sundews only caught a few.
