FLIES! flies in monotub
    #21652596 - 05/08/15 09:47 AM (9 years, 12 days ago)

SO I wake up today and I check a tub I had quarantined due to what looked like yeast.  Turns out it was just some really patchy mycelium, but good thing I quarantined the fucker because now it has flies like hell.  It had just finished colonizing too.

I dont have a shopvac, sadly, though I am having a friend bring one soon.  My plan is to vacuum the little fuckers out of there and then throw it in the fridge for 2 or 3 days and then keep it an eye on it while keeping it in quarantine.  I did some reading and those seemed to be the two best options, another is to suffocate the flies in CO2, which I may try if this doesn't work.

Any advice, this is my first time dealing with flies.

Growing with roommates is hell, I need my own damn house again, this would not have happened if they were not pigs.

I've had flies too because of bad pasteurization and field capacity. Not saying this is your problem but it's definitely not good. Honestly if it is colonized just open it up outside and wave your arms around in it/hit it with the vacuum until they're all gone. I wouldn't be surprised if there's eggs in it too. So don't be surprised if they come out again during fruiting. I'd still keep it quarantined, but I doubt it's a complete loss (assuming it is indeed colonized)

They sell a spray called worry free. It kills fungus gnats on top of hundreds of other insects and won't hurt the myc. They sell it at Wal-Mart
