Ya they were when I put em up weeks ago lol got new ones today.
I also have not had great luck with BT or DE. Sticky traps and neem oil in only the top of my bed has been keeping adults and possibly some larva at bay. No damage to my growing plants is what I'm most concerned about. With synthetics I never had a nat problem but with organics seem to be different story.
I have heard that worm castings also keep them away but have no idea if there is any truth to that. I think I heard coot say it on a kis podcast but not 100 percent. In the next week I should be able to harvest some and lay it over the top of my bed and test this theory. They were fed a healthy diet of Malibu compost aerated with pumice along with all the rock dusts and karanja cake, neem, kelp etc that's in my soil so I know it will jive and not to introduce any new elements to my bed. Lots of hypoasis mites in my Malibu compost in my bed and worm bin... just not enough I guess. I have found the simpler I keep things in the way of organics/growing the more success I seem to have providing my starting soil is on point. But certainly do tell if someone has a organic friendly nat cure. These little basterds are annoying!
Anyway a little update on my veg tent. They are a tad root bound as I'm trying to keep them from blowing up to fast as I have prob 8 or 9 weeks till harvest and need to save room for rooting a few cuts from flower tent. Giving them a small neem drench so figured I'd post a pic. I'm excited bout these but have a bit to wait sadly.
