Safari 20SG Systemic Insecticide with Dinotefuran is labeled for fungus gnats outdoors but is not labeled for fungus gnats indoors on houseplants. Refer to the section Ornamental Plants – Indoors on page 9 of the product label for a full list of insects Safari can be used on indoors. The easiest control for them is to allow the soil to dry out completely between the times you are watering them, which may actually be the best thing for the plants anyhow. Bonide Systemic Houseplant Insect Control would be recommended to treat the fungus gnat larvae in the soil and using Talstar P for a foliar spray application. Spray houseplants outdoors and allow to dry before taking them back into the house. View the full product label for each for more information.
