blowfly or Bluebottle flys the metallic blue, green, & black in color,
I have killed about 10 of the little fuckers in my grow room?


i found from google


Bluebottles and greenbottles breed on dead and decaying animal matter. If you have an unusually large number of these flies in your property you should consider the following:
  • there is a dead animal, for example a mouse, rat, squirrel, or bird, somewhere in or near the house
  • there is some rotting meat (not necessarily a large amount) somewhere near or in the house.
The most likely place to find a dead animal or bird is in the loft, or under the floorboards. Finding the source and disposing of it is the most effective way of getting rid of bluebottle flies.


Ive only ever seen them in my grow area which was cleaned 100% b4 i started my grow! I grow in my cellar/basement and it has a open chimney flute i think that maybe the problem?

I need to know will these little dirty bastards harm my ladies in anyway?

I dont know about harm however I would recommend if you havn't already getting yourself some Revenge brand fly strips. They come in small cylindrical containers and you pull the ribbon out of the container. Over the summer I had a lot of house flies. Less then 2 days after I put them up all the flies were caught and disposed of. No problems since.

Well, the fly strips won't hurt her. It is very unlikely that the flies will hurt her, either (from what I have been told and have read). You may want to search near any ventillation areas to ensure that nothing crawled inside. Also, check thoroughly for any rotten fruit or veggies, as these will often harbor COLONIES of fly bound MAGGOTS. Best of luck to you.
