Hello,

I would like to know if it is normal that, after application of Temik
and watering to container plants, insects such as fungus gnats are
still alive and in perfect "health" after 20 hours ?

I believe temik is systemic and as fungus gnats do not feed on the
plant, Temik may not be effective against that species.

Temik has been abandoned in Canada because one or more cucumber
growers mis-used it and caused illness among consumers.

It works by vapour action as I remember.
Probably quite slowly.

It's VERY toxic to mammals. I would strongly advise not using it.
