Those Darned Sciarid Compost Flies !

 

                        Sweet Daffodils in my garden right now . 

Meanwhile in the shed ......

I'd been noticing one or two of those pesky compost flies . And ordered a box of these yellow sticky fruit fly traps things from Amazon £3.49

                   They sent them out fast ! Very impressed !

There is no way any other insects such as butterflies or bees can get in to the shed , so only these sciarid flies will be caught .

  🪰🪰Sciarid flies lay their eggs in damp compost . The eggs hatch maggots 🐛🐛🐛. The maggots eat soft plant tissue including my seedlings tender roots and shoots . 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱

I do not want them in my plant pots !  

Easy to use . Just peel off both sides and push it into the pots .  They are wickedly sticky !

                 Hopefully I have done this in good time .
