does that really work to get rid of them? i've been told sulfur sprays and sulfur candles are about all of my options at this point. never heard of mosquito coils and am a little skeptical.
You folks slay me. When are you all going to implement a working IPM and eliminate your pest issues thru prevention rather than knee jerk toxic battles due to lax grow room etiquette ???? Prevention is worth pounds of buds fellas. Didn't mean to come off like a dick but after seeing 8 years here of the same old song and dance it gets old. Get yourself a good working IPM and use it your sanity and plants will thank you for it. :D
I developed the IPM that a professional grower uses here in phx. Once implemented their pest issues (almost) disappeared . I say almost cause your ipm is only as good as your weakest link and that is typically your help/employees, or yourself. But put in place and adhered too will keep your misery and stress levels down a lot. Along with better crops and yields.:DDo tell Jump! :bookworm:

Indoor growing poses challenges cause we are potheads and we monocrop, meaning growing the same crop over and over. So without the ability to rotate our crops in doors the 1st stage of the battle is a solid ipm!!!

IPMs can be tailored and used in both small and large grows. However the challenges increase with larger ops. More scouting of plants and remedial work if critters are found. Smaller ops are easier to maintain and prevent infestations.Very cool Jump! Can you share some of your methods or are they more focused on industrial grows?

I don't think anyone here planned on getting bugs, but its something that does happen despite the best intentions. A good program is the best option, but it isn't always possible if you don't have the options of modern technology and good setups. Probably for every decent grow setup here, there are 20 minimal operations that new growers are trying to pop the 1 seed that they got in a bud. There are always going to be newbs.
The best I can do is to continue to educate the masses and hope someone will do the same after my timer gets switched to off. Keep up the great work and hang in there...it's a thankless job and folks will always ask a question before searching thru the threads. I for one appreciate your efforts!
Wow, thank you man. :D That was the nicest thing someone has said to me all day. Respect!!!!I don't think anyone here planned on getting bugs, but its something that does happen despite the best intentions.

IMO the biggest weak link is the soil many of us use. It is usually the catalyst for introducing bugs. But we can’t really control that as it’s trial and error and issues can pop up at anytime. Even if it’s kept in ideal situations.
