Hi all. I have these stupid little bugs flying around in my room. I dont know where they are coming from, it has been -3c or colder here for the past few weeks. I managed to get a picture of the little bastard any help would be great. Does anyone know what it is or how to get rid of it. Is it even going to be a threat??? looks kinda like a fly to me but smaller.

Man it looks kinda similar to a lady bug only its wings are not hidden by a shell. It was probably in the soil. Thats a chance you take with soil. You never really know whats inside the dirt. Lady bugs I have been told are a natural pesticide. They will eat the other bugs that are on your plant. But as far as that one, I am not sure.
 
DAMN THE BUGS!!!! I dont need this crap now!! I'm 2 weeks into flower I dont want these stupid things in there. I thought I had the problem solved, I put a vapona strip in the room and they went away for a while and now they are back again!!!
 
get some trip wire...ya trip wire.. thatll get em..then put a bear trap after the trip wire to fuck him up....then the trap engages a 5 gal bucket spill bleach on him...and if all that doesnt work...CALL THE EXTERMINATOR!!!!!

JK man id try some neem oil
 
you could hang some sticky paper and put some glue down to see what you're dealing with (a single scout or a swarm).
 
this shit el sort em out. Biological Thrip & White Fly Control: Swirskii System

Prey
Thrips & whiteflies are both preys of Amblyseius (Typhlodromips) swirskii. This predatory mite will diligently search for thrips larvae, but will not leave undisturbed whitefly eggs & larvae.
Amblyseius swirskii plays an important role in the biological protection of many vegetable crops. In ornamental crops, it can create a biological barrier against thrips & whitefly.
:hump:
