Gnats
If regular use of does not get rid of the gnats, spray the soil directly with undiluted Growth & Rescue until slightly damp.
example: for a 6" potted plant, two sprays is usually enough.
Trees
Pour undiluted G&R about a foot away from the trunk of the tree, in a circle around it.
The bigger the tree, the more you will use. For smaller, younger trees 1 cup will be sufficient.
Visible Bugs
Use undiluted G&R to spray the foliage of the plant and pour a little (~1 tbsp) at the base of the plant for best results.
