Kleine Fliegen in der Blumenerde – so werden Sie sie los

Secondly, cultural practices can help reduce fly populations. Allow the soil surface to dry out between watering sessions, as this disrupts the flies’ reproductive cycle and prevents larvae from surviving. Avoid using organic mulches like compost or bark, as they can provide food and shelter for fly larvae. Instead, opt for inorganic mulch materials like gravel or pebbles, which discourage fly infestations.

Thirdly, biological control methods can be employed to target fly larvae in the soil. Beneficial nematodes, microscopic organisms that prey on insect larvae, can be applied to the soil to effectively reduce fly populations without harming plants or other beneficial organisms. Additionally, introducing predatory insects such as rove beetles or predatory mites can help keep fly larvae in check.
