small fruit flies attracted to my soil!!

hey guys just wondering if anyone knew of a cheap way to get rid of this fruit flie problem i am having with my babys i heard pyrethrum works but wondering if anyone knew of a cheaper way to solve to problem i have going thanks guys.

I hate fking bugs man.. dont get me started I just FOLIAR FED MY PLANTS POISON. haha Sprayed them bitches. I bet their HIDING UNDER THE LEAVES. just make sure its VEGGING.. and wash off with water once a week

SM-90 works well just a few drops in your water eveytime you water ...other than that shop vac and yellow stick traps

if they're fungus gnats, the babies are eating your roots and your plant will really suffer. white fly sticky traps are cheap and can help with killing pregnate mothers and such. Otherwise just neem so the bugs can't flourish!

azamax and azatrol use it in your water to get the one in the medium and spray for the one living above

dutch bag ROFL funny shit, yah it might not be a organic way to kill them but it does work and works well.

i find therapeutic joy in killing each invader by hand....personally.

very cheap...very time consuming.
Well worth the efforts....keeps me inside and out of trouble with the local law enforcement

i like it, self indused anger managment

why not just spread about inch of sand or perlite on top of the medium. prob solved.......

I use a small coffee cup of dish soap in a shaded area and sometimes they land in there, or use napalm LOL

its a fight you won't win by hand sorry to say. insect dust/diatomaceous earth, http://eartheasy.com/insect-dust-diatomaceous-earth-4-lbs this will kill them by getting in there joints and drying them out and not fuck with ladies.Just before you flower throw a little soil or sand in the mix as to not knock up dust on buds... bugs should be dead and dust mixed in with top soil by then

don't get me wrong...when i finally tire out i cheat
...just turn on another fan right next to my pots and let it suck and chop up the tiny devils as i sleep.

they don't fly so good under gale force winds and it seems and the survivors appear to busy clinging to what they can to eat much of anything


it's been working very well so far for me....can't say for others
kinda makes a mess on the walls....have to waste time cleaning that off, but meh.
having only two plants probably works in my favor

o for sure low number lots of love = lbs
