the neem oil seems to be working but like you said i feel like its really thick and i dont like to use it on the soil so much i feel ill need to flush is afterwards. the neem oil is non organic as well. gonna def look into th spinosad. and i just look at the plants today a lot of new growth and didnt see any fuckers flying around. so that was good i just churned the top of the soil and watched to see if they come out(they usually scurry out and try to fly away) and i would immediately spray them with the neem oil and i spray till the thin top layer is moist. gonna water with it when the time comes i just dont want to over water them ): i have a habit of doing that ALOT!!!!!I am going to give the coffee thing a try next time I get bombarded. The only way to find out is to try for myself right?
The Mosquito dunks didn't work for me. I tried crushing them and topdressing then watering. I also crushed and added to a gallon of water, let sit for 3 days and watered with that and still no joy!
The neem oil seemed to glue the soil together and I didn't like that. So far the Spinosad has done the trick! Any time I see a flyer around a pot, that one gets Spinowater for it's next watering. I also suck as many of the flyers as I can with the shop vac when it's bad. Iv'e sucked the top inch or so of soil out of the pots also then top dressed to replace the missing soil.
Laying those yellow sticky traps on the floor also did pretty good at collecting the flyers. Now I use a large fan to blow air across the floor/pots that seems to make it hard for insects to stay near the pots. Collecting and killing the flyers is the key to getting rid of them. Flyers lay eggs!!
