little annoying indoor flies
I have a range of indoor plants and unfortunately with them, I have little
flies.... What can I do to the soil, plant or other to prevent them from spawning?! Helen |

They are probably hatching from within the compost in your potting mix. Could you seal over the top of the pot up to the stem of each plant with panty hose? When flies hatch they might be unable to escape and the colony should soon die out. That's my theory, anyway. -- John Savage (news reply email invalid; keep news replies in newsgroup) |

Someone mentioned putting soapy water in the soil.... Has anyone heard of this working? |
