g'day janet,

what are you using for f/fly traps ie.,. bait.

i use traps with various liquid baits in them but my main thrust is
the fruit fly wick that attracts and kills the male fly, these wicks
are available from produce agancies the best one is called 'Q-fly'.

covering the plant with mesh could interfere with pollination.

i have various recipes available on my remedies page at my site.
