Mushroom flies, electric fumigator
    #25630139 - 11/21/18 02:12 PM (6 years, 1 month ago)

For several days, I had a problem with mushroom flies. I tried to catch them or squeeze them. It did not help, and every day they became more and more. Little bastards. Sorry, did not make a photo. I already wanted to take radical action and deal with all with some insecticides.
This morning my wife asked me to buy something from the mosquitoes in the store, because they do not allow her to sleep. And I got the idea. I put an electric fumigator straight into the growing area. A few hours later, I opened the closet .. oh, dear, I do not see any movement. I hope they are all dead.In the morning I will be sure of this and will write about it.
I do not know in other countries, how it is called, we can buy what you see in the photo.

How does this thing work?  Is it a gel that heats and dissipates insecticide? 

While I'm a fan of anything that wipes out those bastards, I'd hesitate to put anything around my grow that could settle on my shroomies.

Yes, heats up. But not a gel, a liquid or a paper plate that is soaked with insecticide. They are used to destroy mosquitoes in residential areas. I do not think that it will harm mushrooms.

This morning, I found only 5 flies. They looked like a drunk. I easily pressed them. I think it works, and I turned it on until evening. To completely destroy all flies.

Not necessarily a danger of damaging the shrooms but you probs don't really want to be eating that shit, know what I mean??

If it kills flies what would it do to you? Probs nothing good thats for sure!

Maybe, I will not argue with you. But those few mushrooms that grow at the moment, I will throw it away just in case.
