Phorids

[mary walters]

Can someone please tell me where I saw the excellent article on Phorids By Ray please????
I have just lost my A sp bicegoi to them and would like to eradicate them, I can't find Ray's article anywhere though. Thanks.

You'll have a job eradicating them Mary. Non-insecticidal fly paper and prompt removal of prey remains is your best bet.

That's one of the reasons I choose not to feed any of mine on pinkies/fuzzies and the like. The various fluids seep into the substrate as they're eating them and without entirely removing the bit of substrate they've been eating on, in my opinion it only serves to attract flies.

Thanks Phil. My phorids are coming in with the crix, it's funny, when I go out and buy crix there's never any, my supplier delivers them....full of Phorids, time for a change I think....We have fly papers up like xmas decorations at the mo Phil lol.
