I have found pheromone traps online but they only seem to be available in the UK and impossible to have shipped here. i tried a combination BT and Pyrethrum spray, and last year and it worked OK but i still lost 1/4 of my plantings. THis year I tried covering and growing in pots and somehow already have damage!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4544358755192295336.post-84649863218248996902015-06-18T19:01:05.099-07:002015-06-18T19:01:05.099-07:00Well that is a new one to me.

Even though my garlic did not get infected, it is covered as the shallots are in the same bed and they did have onion maggot damage last year. I guess that's a good thing as I am most likely avoiding this new threat. Fingers crossed that you still have a good harvest this year & not too many more of your garlic becomes infected.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4544358755192295336.post-44671898309937435932015-06-17T03:47:24.504-07:002015-06-17T03:47:24.504-07:00Yes, that's why it's so important to keep ...Yes, that's why it's so important to keep things (produce, firewood) local and avoid transferring pests to other areas.

It would be so much easier if we didn't keep importing new pests. Good luck. I hope you still get a good amount of garlic.
