FUNGUS FLY

Fungus Fly is also known as the Fungus Gnat or Sciarid Fly and the larvae of these tiny flies can do untold damage to young seedlings by feeding on new roots and providing an opening for disease and fungi to take hold. Plants in seedlings and polythene tunnels are equally at risk and if you enjoy raising your fruit, vegetables and ornamentals from seed, you'll need to take action against this minute pest.

Preventing clouds of adult fungus flies building up - and they can take some responsibility for indirectly killing your seedlings as they spread fungal disease spores and plant viruses - is possibly thanks to our choice of organic pest control products.

We've got the tried and trusted sticky fly traps - guaranteed to trap adult flies and give you an idea of numbers present - along with the hard-hitting nematodes in the Fungus Fly Killer which dine out on the tiny larvae and break the lifecycle. Long live your seedlings!
