Guest campervanman Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 hi campervanman here welcome to 420 you got the best site to ask thoes kind of Qs there are a few ways to CONTROL them little buggers get some sticky yellow fly traps and put them in you grow room and around your plants for a start you cud use biobizz BUZZOFF but dont spray onto your flowers it wont taste good! I ONLY SPRAY THE BOTTOM OF MY POTS CAPILLARY MATTING i got told to put COCO PEAT on the top it stops them DEAD and if they are REALY bad you cud get some PREDATORY NEMATODES they a little preditors that feed on FUNGUS GNATS/SCARID FLY also HYPOASPIS MILES you introduce them to your grow and they will die off after they have eaten all the grubs www.defenders.co.uk/scarid_fly_control.htm good luck CAMPERVANMAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer1 Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Hello moakey. I've moved your topic to pest control. So a question. Are these black fly the same sort of thing as greenfly [aphids]? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moakey Posted December 7, 2004 Author Share Posted December 7, 2004 Replies much appreciated, will try and fill in my profile when I settle on a place to grow a few, dont think lights will be an option though , will probably try lots of small sturdy plants, have got another six plants to try and see which method is best, my son wants us to have an allotment, I wish!!!!!!!!!!!. Anyway cheers all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scint Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 welcome to 420 moakey, OT1 is the man to listen to abt bugs and the like, he now his stuff, didnt notice that campervanman has told u what to do, get them sticky fly traps and hang them in your GR and I've heard that ppl put sand on top of the soil to stop the larvae coming up and changing to adults, other members will come along with their eperiences of the FG, scint..
