I took advantage of some free surplus seedlings on Craigslist this summer (tomato and red peppers) and ended up with some hitchhiker moth flies and white flies. Great. Lesson learned. Anyway, neither of the pests seemed problematic until recently. As far as I've been able to research, moth flies only eat bio slime, and aquaponics provides that in abundance. Even though they may be benign, they are swarming my greenhouse when plants are disturbed. Tired of inhaling them. Any suggestions?
