Bugs Im Scurrrred!!!

[DE.Db33t]

So there is now an infestation of little fruit flies in my grow room. They are in the kitchen too but they have moved to the grow room. Im not sure if they came from outside, the kitchen, or the soil. Are these guys harmful to my buds. Outside of fly paper what can I do. Will the eat my lovely trichs!?!?!

Ill try to get a a picture up of one if I can catch it.

If'n yer scrrd, go to church.
Luckily fruit flies are not scary. They like sweets and moisture. And rotting fruit of course. Make sure there's no standing water in your grow area, and if you use molasses, I'd wipe out any catch trays that might have sugar residue in them, and definitely go into the kitchen and do some spring cleanin'... I find they like to live UNDER the can liner in my kitchen rubbish. That's where I've found their filthy larvae. A good shot of pyrethrin before you put the bag back in helps too!

Thanks Stinky,

Your advice is always obliged and welcomed.

Im glad to hear that my babies are safe and I'll stick some pics of the flowering prebuds in the g log sub forums.

Spring cleaning time for sure though, the kitchen is getting real gross.

Yours and mine both bruthaman. I tried putting Smelly-the-Dog on spill cleanup detail but it comes out kind of a wash with the amount of fur she leaves behind, and I end up having to mop anyway.
