It's that time of year - FLY SEASON

[Rose H-H]

Thanks for doing that research, Mr. Science!  My houseplants and I thank you!

My ID was fungus gnats as well... I've dealt with them in houseplants before but have no houseplants post move, so they must have come in from outside. Ours showed up about a week ago but the population inside has dropped dramatically.

Thanks for the ID on the insects! I read that fungus gnats arrive in homes and locations where there is excess moisture. (We have them too.) Over-watered houseplants can be ideal breeding places. Their lifespan is 3 weeks. No easy way to get rid of them: the article suggested sticky fly paper which I don’t want to do, but I can let my jade plant go longer without water…
