    Hello,

    I am about to start bubblicious and purple power in my old grow area. Upon inspecting it today I have noticed about 100 flies that wern't there before :p. Whats a good way to get rid of these multiplying green flies?

    Thanks,

    Well you could


    :eek: Since you have not started yet you could just use some insecticide. Make sure you dispose of anything organic in the room such as food. Those flies are there for a reason. :( You must have some food or procreation source in there for them that you may not know about like a dead rat or something.

    damn and I threw a banana peel in the corner about 5 months ago when I was growing to make the bugs go after it instead of my buds. Maybe thats what caused it. I am gonna try fly paper before anything else but I doubt it will yeild good results.

    Hey man, I wouldn't worry about flies that much. They won't bother your plants at all just annoy the shit out of you. They only have like a week life span so if they can't lay eggs you won't have them long. A fly flap works well too.

    put one next to your head while you sleep at night and leave it there for 5 months and see how well you do

    Uh the no pest strips are about 5-7 bucks and will keep your grow room clear of all insects. I mean these are good for a bout 200 sq ft each. And they persist up to six months.

    I just use Seven Tec on a rag or peace of clouth and hang it in the same room. It seems to keep most and all of any kind or type of insects down. It doesnt say it works on those spider mites but it must. Cause it works on all other kinds of mites. It comes in a red spray botol ready to use. Good Luck with your grow.
