All creatures tremble when faced with violence. All creatures fear death, all love life. If we can only see ourselves in others, then how could we possibly hurt another creature?

Thanks Magash. Any idea how long their lifecycle is?

Unless it's longer than you would expect I can see them causing a lot of damage if they get out of control.

I saw a gnat just crawl out of one of my jars, and I'm just wondering

1) Will the dry verm layer stop them?
2) If the tops of most of my jars uncolonized, wet and nice for gnats, is it best to just fruit the jar now before it get contaminated?
3) If I only saw one, is there a chance I wont see more
(Please!!!! I don't want to lost another grow to bacteria!)

I don't think for myself. I think as though I'm explaining my thoughts to someone else. I'm concerned only for those listening.

I quickly developed a serious gnat problem in my grow closet in my garage.  I read RR's post about looking for house plants that may be "home" to gnats, as gnats don't live or breed in fully colonized substrate or cakes. 

I realized that I had a big bag of 4 month old store bought horse manure in my grow closet.  I looked in the bag and saw many gnats in there.  I threw the bag away yesterday, and today my gnat problem is gone.

So it seems like these flies can be a bother but overall they're gnat a problem.

I had a few little gnats or fruit flies or something in my FC (nowhere else in my house though, so I have no clue where they came from) and naturally I got upset. Somewhere I read apple cider vinegar attracts them. So I put some in an old vitamin water bottle with aluminum foil on top, with a single small hole in punched in and placed that inside my FC. The flies are more attracted to the apple cider vinegar than my cakes.. so they fly into the bottle and can't get out. It totally worked. Now and then I see one flying around in there, but within an hour it's gone (drowned in the apple cider vinegar muhaha).

The woods are full of fairies! The trees are alive: The river overflows with them. See how they dip and dive! What funny little fellows! What dainty little dears! They dance and leap, and prance and peep, And utter fairy cheers!
