How do you control the black fig flies in your setup?

@unnwa
At present I am trialing closed-eye figs. I also fertigate with Gnatrol.

How do we use Gnatrol? Spray on ground?

I’m using Gnatrol WDG. See online label for fertigation directions.

I am slow. Do you spray inside a circle on the ground around the fig or ?

So since i do not have an irrigation system, i shd directly spray the root zone?

@unnwa
Gnatrol is a bacterial larvicide. We are not trying to apply it to roots. Instead we are trying to inoculate any soil, mulch, etc. that black fig fly larvae might have fallen into for their long winter nap. There are several bacterial larvicide products available to consumers. Always ready the label before purchase and then again before application.
