The best way to avoid gnats and flies is to keep the surfaces in your fruiting area clean and sanitized. Every once in a while (preferably a schedule of once a month) mist the walls and other surfaces in your fruiting area with bleach (specifically a 10% bleach/90% water solution) in a spray bottle. This will not only keep the flies and gnats at bay, it also aids in keeping the area contaminant free.
Best way I have found is to keep fans or air movement in grow room/ area as they hate the wind. Had an issue one time and haven't had one since. Keeping grow area clean is also a good way to prevent this issue. But wind or air movement has been the best prevention in my experience.
@@Myco_BlaineO_ Im not discounting the air movement, but that only helps if theyre already present, I cant imagine how moving air would actually prevent their occurrence, merely mitigate their presence. My comment was about actual prevention. The cleaning method I previously mentioned, along with proper pasteurization or sterilization of your substrate, are the only prevention methods I am aware of.
Because they would completely avoid the area as they hate air movement....? Wouldn't even go in the grow room/area because of all the moving air is how.
