    #19124578 - 11/12/13 02:00 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Why do I have fruit flies in my SGFC?? There is like 5 of the little buggers... They seem to love running around the BRF cakes... I dont mind them but why are they there? Hatched somehow??

My only guess is that they are drawn to the humidity.

If they lay eggs they can really damage your cakes.  You can use a cup with cider vinegar, wine, beer, juice etc. to trap them in.  GL

I've put bags laying over the tops of my mono lids while they colonize so the little fuckers cant get in there as early through the tiny cracks and openings tub lids have. If you keep em out until full colonization, and dont have any major gaps in your polyfil holes, you should be able birth the tub and pull a couple flushes out first before they find it and lay eggs, in my situation at least.

RR says to set a shallow dish of vinegar or wine out to distract them, so they fly into that and drown instead of going to your tubs. Though ive never had a single gnat land in any vinegar dish. At least when growing cannabis, you can just water your soil with mosquito dunks. Wish that was the case here. You can try to stick fly tape hanging from your lid, and make sure it never touches your substrate or falls from the lid.
