How do you go about getting rid of fungus flies in plants?

Answer by  rhickok1109 (233)

Put a small bowl of wine or apple cider vinegar next to the infested plant. The fungus flies will be attracted by the smell of fermentation and will drown in the liquid.

You need to find the source (which plant) the fungus flies are coming from. The breed around areas that overly watered or too moist. Let your soil dry out completely and refrain from over watering.

The easiest and best way to get rid of fungus flies in plants is not pour too much water for your plants, fungus flies thrive in moist conditions and the eggs and larvae thrive in moist soil, keep your plants dry with just the right amount of water needed, do not pamper your plants with too much water.

Basically, over watering should be avoided for getting rid of fungus flies in plants. Alcohol spray on the plant parts would be efficient. Yellow paper sticky traps could also be used.

Chemicals like detergents, neem oil or nicotine-brewed tea may be applied at the base of the plant. Yellow sticky traps capture adult flies.
