Ok, I don't know what to do, I have dozens of tiny moths (a little bigger than a grain of rice, some as big as two grains of rice) flying in and out and around my plants, I don't know if they are laying eggs what. They look like the little moths that come in and fly around the house. I sprayed neem tonight, but am willing to go with chemical bug killer if needed. They fly so fast I cannot seem to get pictures of them, they are tons of them up under the shade cloth, and they fly out in droves if disturbed.
A week or so ago there were tons of what I thought were knats in my beds. I guess they were baby moths. I will try to post pics. Thanks, Sammiek |

If the neem oil does not repel them, some form of BT will
likely kill the larvae that hatch: http://www.sciencenews.org/view/gene...a_ally_with_Bt (A WWW search will find lots of BT products. Many are specifically selected for moth control, though I don't know exactly what kind of moth you have.)
