Carrot Root Fly
Carrot Root Fly - stealthy and sneaky, by the time you suspect Carrot Root Fly might be a problem in your vegetable patch, allotment or kitchen garden, it will probably be too late! The creamy white larvae are only around 10mm in long but can cause extensive damage to carrot, parsnips and celery if you're not prepared for them and the two to three generations or adults which zoom in under the gardener's radar each year - but with our Natural Choice range of products at the ready, you could yet end up with 24 carat carrots!

That's because our range of Anti-Carrot Root Fly products provide the harassed gardener with the tools to both prevent and cure the annual invasion of Carrot Root Fly. We've sticky traps - orange, of course - to help you monitor numbers and act in good time; a simple but highly effective screen to divert low flying females away from your crops and even hungry nematodes, who will hunt, infect and kill the larvae in the soil before the unseen damage is done.
