Hi all, Being very new to this forum and new to bulb growing, there are
many things I do not know about. The Narcissus fly is one of them.

I got a catalog a month or so ago and it is a catalog from Valley Vet
Supply. They have all kinds of supplies for Ranchers and other people that
raise animals.

I mention this because on one page of their catalog they have "fly
control" tags that are to be put on the ears of cattle and such to control
horn flies, face flies and ticks. From their description they appear to be
some type of plastic tags impregnated with differing combinations of
chemicals for the control of these flies. From reading their description
they last about 6 months.

I was wondering if anyone would think that some of these fly control tags
placed on stakes and placed low to the ground next to bulbs, if that would
either kill the narcissus bulb fly or just keep it away?

If anyone out there has tried this let me know. Though the tags are not
really expensive they still are kinda pricy for me. I also do not have the
knowledge of the Narcissus fly or the facilities to accuratly test such a
"offbeat idea."

Thanks for your time in reading this.
