Forgot this question in my original post - carrot flies

Anyone got any idea???
Please help
Some 'organic' approaches:
Beneficial nematodes
Use row covers and crop rotation
Plant resistant varieties.
Interplant carrots (and use outer borders) of some other
crop plant (garlic, onions, non-related herb) or cover crop
(vetch, clover). You could also try regular sprays with
a garlic/rosemary to act as a repellant and odor mask for
the carrots.
Thorough cleanup after harvest is always a good idea.
Destroy any infested carrots. Destroy any weeds in the
carrot family that are growing nearby.
