Bugs!!!

when i first planted my seeds in little styrofoam cups, there was little gnat looking bugs flying around, i thought there were just some kind of fruit fly or something, but i noticed that my seeds and 2 inch plants started growing very slow and some seeds never reached the surface :-0, i stirred the dirt around and i saw hundreds of little clear worms devouring my struggling seed and all throughout the soil, what can i do to save my plants and prevent future bug problems, can i get a a sticky tape thing or do i have to change the soil out.


Thanks alot,

these are the little cunts ive got!
there tiny little flies aint they, like reallly tiny

there pissing me of
ive been told to put washing up liquid and vinegar in a bowl in my grow room...ive got some in there now so ill let you know if it works

They prefer a sugary syrup in a bowl and make a bee line straight for it,mix it down with a little bit of water so it doesn't form a skin on top and they cant get out once they've got in.

Ive killed loads of them this way after getting annoyed with plastic strips and hanging fly papers stuck to my fingers and my head

How serious are they?

ive put some washing up liquid on whit cards covering my soil

there are already about 10 stuck on one lol

seem like effective sticky pads

If their numbers get to high the larvae will destroy your roots

ok well my fake sticky pads caught most of em so far now there only seems to be about 5 flying around

ill leave it till the morning

that syrup setup will control the parent flies but what can i do about the worms, theyve already killed half my plants, is there any chemical i can get to kill these assholes.

Flood the plants with water and stab any worms you see with a pin at the top and the bottom of the pot then let the plants dry out a bit or poison them.
I never use any poisons so dunno what you would need to do that.
If you control the parents they cant have kids

lol

well ive almost lost one of my plants due to these little fuckers...well trying to get rid of em!!

Was advised to spray the plant with dish soap vinegar and water mix, done so and now the plant looks fucked... Trying to revive it now!!! its on life support
