bay leaves

hi
i was wondering if anyone uses bay leaves or cloves seeds as means against bugs. i know its used against bugs in fruits so why not in the groow room??
anyone??

If they don't like the Bay leaves, they're going to jump on your plants instead. Take a look at fresh predatory nematodes for prevention.

yeah but the cluve and bay leaves has a smell that repell insects. so in a closed cabinet it might work??!
i will try it but any one alse has an opinion?

Agreed.... If you had a choice between the smelly skunk or the 5ounce steak next to it.... what would you be choosing for dinner MimoA? have a look at ladybugs... work wonders in an enclosed space. easy to catch as well (Henry Hoover)

What kind of bugs?

i mean would the bugs even enter to a smelly cabint in the first place.
u all got a point but trying won't do harm so.

any bugs. aphids fly evry thing evil.

you would probably have to use essential oils derived from the plant(s) to work. also would have to make sure the insect(s) are actually repelled by the plant(s); just cause they smell doesn't mean they will work

Bugs fly on you and get in your grow, moths and house flies carry micro mites so many variables

lol - from the U.K - Ladybird or Ladybug, The Coccinellidae are a family of small beetles, ranging from 0.8 to 18 mm. They are commonly yellow, orange, or scarlet with small black spots on their wing covers, with black legs, heads and antennae. <Google

you can buy them online by the bag load, they eat up all your little problems, im organic so I agree totally with trying it, if you don't have them to start with then just make sure your air filters are tightly connected and theres no other possible entry holes for them, you should be okay then. defo don't use soil from outside in your indoor growroom, that's your biggest bug problem cause.
