Title: YELLOW STICKY FLY TRAPS !
Post by: Duke Ellington on June 03, 2009, 11:51:42

This is my first year with a greenhouse and was wondering where I should place the fly traps!

Do I put one above each tomato plant ?? or do I place them high up ? How many should I use ?

I have a 6x8 greenhouse.

IF you use them - just above the growing tips - & keep raising them.

I've given up - find they get as many Hoverflies as other things.

And don't cope with a pest onslaught.

Don`t use them-as Tim suggests they trap beneficial beasties as well

we use them for fruit flies in the house, later in the year. While harvesting our fruit, we seem to get loads of them, particulary if we get a couple of damaged plums or apples

I'm with angle shades.  They cannot differentiate between whitefly, greenfly and hoverflies and bees.

Would never use them.
