    Default Fungus Gnats?

    All,

    I’m using a new bag of Verve but it seems to be infested with tiny flies that have just started to show a week and a half into my latest grow.

    They’re black and about 3mm long with folded back wings...too small to photograph I’m afraid.

    Very scuttley across the surface of the soil.

    I’ve put some yellow traps down and am letting the top 7 or so centimetres of soil dry out and am also using Bug Clear but nothing seems to be making a difference.

    Am I right in thinking I need predator mites to sort this...a bio solution?

    H.

    Neem oil for the wind. I spray all my soil's before ever planting with good coat of Neem oil, and don't have bug problems.
