Strain
So, 5 days since I noticed. Took 2 days to get everything I needed. 1 day for the DE and I had some long fruit fly traps.. the pesticide DE took care of the larva. As there was about 50males and they lay about 200eggs in their life, or it's a week, something like that. I just researched how to get rid off, and I read that. I'll be heat treating the rest of my potting soil ill need to uppot the fems for their flip..heat treat in oven at 170degree for 30mins. You can put in put oven trays and just move it about with a spoon. As any larva will stay in your soil dormant until it gets wet. And then all it takes is 1 to lay all them eggs, but i think only a small % actually take off. As I had around 25adults I could see flying about. So, 5 days, took 2 days for soil to dry out for some plants, and then I had a few that were already bone dry that I had to feed up from the bottom. (Tat caused issues of its own, but I kept my girls alive) and defeated the pests. I'll keep the fruit fly traps about. Hope this helps ppl. You don't need to get the DE. Let the soil dry out, and apply fruit fly traps. If you have some alcohol (ethanol) mix a 50/50 mix with water and lightly apply it to the top. Don't agitate the soil. There's many ways to tackle them. Feel free to DM me, and we'll go through what you have in your house. I've read many many ways. And any household should have a few things you can use straight away.
