Their poor little brains can't handle light from 2 directions! They are more of a nuisance than a problem. - Granny:hippy:
Darn, that was new a bag of soil that I had gotten too. I have a zipper bag. That really sucks!

Hope my idea works(put that fly sticky trap inside the soil bag, then zip it up and wait for a week or so then hopefully they are all dead :thumbsup.

Thanks for postin.
