I have all these little fly type creatures starting to multiply. Seem to be living in the clay balls where the water is. Help pleAse. What do I do? Been spraying this natural spray from nursery but it isn’t working. Nebrr seen these outdoors.

Yes sir and thanks for the advice, I think they might be fruit flies will work for that too? Thank you Roger

Ya…I’m pretty sure it will. I’ll tell ya…that’s some dam good stuff that D.E Will

Fun gas gnats have longer legs like spiders. Fruit flys have shorter legs. From the pic I was looking at. Hope you get rid of them.

Hey Will, is there a concern with the DE after I sprinkle it on top of the soil? Does it just work its way through the soil with watering? Thanks for allowing me to ask all these questions. :slight_smile: Roger

You can ask all you want.No it wouldn’t hurt a thing. But when you go to harvest you may want to wash off any left on there .but other than that it’s all good. Will

DE (food grade) is made of natural minerals and wouldn’t be bad for anything watered into the soil. Some will go deeper in the soil, and it will just help kill any bugs deeper down, it won’t be absorbed by the plant as anything harmful, people can and do eat the stuff as a mineral supplement and/or a intestinal parasite treatment. But yes, you would want to wash/rinse off any applied to the above ground parts of the plant before smoking it, easily enough done while the plant is still growing, right before harvest if need be.

I managed to get a good pic of these bugs bugging me. I got sticky pads which are working. Just waiting on my DE to arrive. But can anyone identify these little !@#$ers [image] [image]

To me they look more like fungus gnats. [image] Fruit Flies - Oklahoma State University A page dedicated to understanding Fruit Flies, their hosts, symptoms, descriptions and control properties. http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/insect/05584.html

Ok bro… I’ll have a read. They must be very similar. Thanks aye.
