We had a bit of a fungus gnat outbreak on the houseplants, starts and microgreens. I initially thought they were aphids, which I've never had before, but they are definitely tiny flies and the internet says they are fungus gnats.
I can confirm that a plate with maple syrup or honey next to the infected areas will draw them in and stick them. The maple syrup seems to be outperforming the honey but they are both working! Oddly, my half boiled maple sap is outperforming both honey and full maple syrup, I don't know why!
