I have converted a friend at work to organics and she is successfully growing orchids but the amount of flies she has is driving her crazy and she is considering going back to the chemical ways if she doesn't find a solution. Thanks for ya'lls help.

We used one of the fly traps, probably similar to the one mentioned above, last year. It works great, but smells like "c*** in a bag" after it has been hanging up for a few days, so don't place it where you hang out alot. Sorry to be so blunt, but it's the truth.

I need more info. I'm organic, have fresh horse manure around, and no flies. What is she doing?
