    Pests: Question of IF or WHEN?

    Is it just a fact of life that there will be pest problems with ones grow (indoors)? What is the cause? In a cab environment what can one do to prevent infestation without the use of sprays and/or chemicals? Is it a matter of filtering the intake?

    Pests: Question of IF or WHEN?

    Deftdrummer, yes there certainly is a plethora of information on fighting various pests once they are there. The information I found revolves mostly around controlling enviornment ie. accurate temp/humidity control, keeping a clean work space. Personally I'm not a huge proponent of the doing something (like spraying) <I>just in case</I>. What is the ideal <B>clean</B> enviornment one could lay their trust in opposed to blindly hosing down their plants?

    It's a question of WHEN.
    Neem oil is a good prevention.
    Yellow sticky traps will both act as a monitor and trap bugs.
    The bugs come from all sorts of places... soil, your clothing, they fly or crawl there, pets bring them in the house. Just prevent infestation and a few odd bugs won't do much harm.

    I am just using neem oil now, and I am going to continue to use it as a preventative. I also believe it is a question of WHEN, not IF, because my plants just had a mad pest-infestation, now mostly under control *phew*. Anyways, I use neem for prevention and soap if I spot any bugs. The only thing about neem is it smells soooooooooooooooo bad- but maybe thats just the brand (Safer's) I got? Does yours smell bad Stinky?
