Flies in Conservatory

personally I'd avoid sprays; zappers work best at dusk/night when they are the only source of UV; Not all insects are attracted to UV... there is one small fly (about 3mm long) we get that just relatively slowly "floats" about the middle of rooms that isn't. Blue bottles, moths, midges, etc are attracted. You can make your own from plastic 2 litre pop bottles and some raw mince..... A home made fly trap inside the conservatory is likely to be more effective than trying to reduce the exterior population. For a bait I'd be tempted to use sugar solution rather than mince. Mince would only attract those insects that want to lay eggs in carrion etc. Plain water with a drop or two of washing up liquid to destrory the surface tension might be just as effective. -- Cheers Dave. |
