Pour 1/4" of sand over the top soil. Then for flying bugs you can bug bomb or get sticky fly paper (yellow).

Growing for the first time and the 100th time always has challenges. That what makes it so exciting. I love it. Always share how you fix a problem so others may learn.

That's a cruse question. (faggots). Anyways there not good for your plants, they might suck juice from buds? And the sand Maggots are horrible for your plant, throw sand on top of soil.
im still in the veg stage about 3 weeks into the process. just noticed them yesterday night. is it too late to do anything?
o and once i put sand down, how long should i leave it there?

Yeah your still in veg so you are fine. The sand just go ahead and leave it there. It kills those bugs that are trying to get in your soil. If I am on later today I will help you more if you need it. I must go to work now.
ok thanks man!!! so they sand wont get in the way when i water?? can it go through?

I have some plants outdoors and I have these tiny black beetle lookin bugs chewing little holes in my leaves...I was wondering if there was some kind of insecticide i could buy to spray them with...i dont have any threat that i know of as far as things in the soil, when i dug the holes to transplant them outside there was little night crawlers in the ground but those are everywhere anyway so i dunno... is there anything i should worry about in my soil even? and as far as putting sand around the top soil of my plants i dunno if i wanna do that cuz If for some reason my plants were to be discovered i dont want it to look like they've been grown there by someone, cuz that someone could easily be traced back to me considering im the land owner...
