Yellow sticky traps for catching adult (winged) sciarid flies.
Yellow sticky traps for catching adult (winged) sciarid flies. These insects’ larvae live in the soil of potted plants and pose a significant threat to them. They gnaw on the roots and shoots of the plants, creating favourable conditions for the development of fungal infections, and may even lead to the death of the plant.
Dark winged fungus gnats belong to the fly family. They are found in places like the home and are easy to recognize, because they resemble tiny blackflies in appearance. These small insects like damp and shady places. Individuals living in the home usually settle in flowerpots. In the wild environment, they are not afraid of extreme conditions and appear even in deserts and islands in the vicinity of Antarctica. They do not bite, and the life of adult individuals is focused on reproduction. Females die soon after laying eggs.
