Fungas gnats

Ok thanks Pedro

I have those yellow fly catchers, they any good?

Have some pink stuff for termites it's hard to get, might be good, but notice Bunnings have the Neem oil so I'll be in there onto that tomorrow.

yellow sticky traps , yep 

they are one of the 1st places you should look at when you walk in your grow space , 

you don't want to see anything on them but if you do hopefully your finding out as 

early as poss , the sticky traps will not control anything , they will help support other

pest management measures as mentioned by micmac

The yellow traps I have are those hideous things you unwind and they stick to everything like shit to a blanket...

Not sure how they would be used in a tent without just making everything sticky...?

 

Great info as usual tho

Thanks all [emoji106]

both sides are sticky but that doesn't mean you have to peel off both side 

in a tent hang it against the wall down low , under the canopy 

 

cut them in half & stake them in the soil , whatever works without causing probs for you

also .... have you got a small handheld dust buster?

 

when they hoon around the pots, tent floor/walls or even fly around ... i like to whack on the vacuum and suck them up - just be careful of getting too close to your plant though.

That's an idea, hadn't thought on that, could unroll the fly catcher, and instead of hanging up, arrange around the top of pot, little feckers.

I assume if left they would damage plant.

I know a few have mentioned neem. I'm aware of the gnat lifecycle but I reckon even with just the yellow stickies alone you'll be OK. A neem drench should get rid of them but it's likely that there will still be a couple remaining. I remember I had a really bad infestation on my first grow in potting mix. I just kept on replacing stickies for a couple of weeks and eventually the numbers dropped to only a few.

I cut strips and placed them all over the soil too. Pretty unpractical when watering it seems to go well.
