If you have fungus gnats, they are usually caused by overwatering plants. Be sure to let the soil of your plants dry out to eliminate the harborage areas for these plants. If soil is compacted and very dense, consider repotting plants with severe infestations.
Please keep chickens the the coop for at least 1-2 hours after Tempo SC Ultra application or until the treated area has dried.
