Is Someone Eating Your Plants Roots?

Is someone eating your plants roots?

Fungus Gnat, or Sciarid Fly, seen flying around the grow room as an adult are also doing damage to your plants roots…their larvae, a small pale maggot are hiding in the media, eating the roots of your plant.

A 3 pronged attack should rid your grow room of these pests:

PREVENTION: Be aware of what comes in to your grow room through media or on plants. Cover your air intakes with mesh to stop the adults flying in, RAM Bug Barriers are great.

CAPTURE: Use Sticky fly traps to catch the adults before they can breed.

ERADICATE: Target the larvae. Simply add a soil treatment when you water your plants, Aptus Soil Attack or Tanlin are both very effective. ARTS Bio Granules can be sprinkled on the top of your plant pots or hung in your nutrient tank in a mesh bag, providing longer term treatment.
