Awasome Flies Around Garden Bed References. The two primary types of small flying bugs that may hover around your plants are fungus gnats bradysia spp et al and shore flies scatella stagnalis. The black flying ‘bugs’ have dark wings and tend to fly when infected plants are.
I have dug a new garden bed a few weeks ago and planted numerous perennials divided from a neighbours garden (local plant sales are so wonderful!). Apply to the soil’s surface in a continuous line around the perimeter of your raised bed. Make larger fly traps by poking holes into an empty, 1 gallon milk container with a pencil.
