Bean Fly control

Pedro starts with ...
Has anyone any advice on how to control bean fly and other pests on dwarf beans, climbing beans and snake beans other than using hard chemicals such as rogor. Do nets work the same as with fruit fly control.

Pedro, try this 'Organic Bean-Fly Spray.'
10 cloves of garlic, unpeeled & cut up rough.
2 onions, (as above).
6 hot birdseye chillis, cut in half.
Boil all this for ~ 10 minutes, and let stand overnight. Strain, then add a bit of liquid soap, then store in a glass bottle or jar.
Dilute this, ~ 200ml of mixture to 9 litres of water (1 gal). (I add a wetting Agent here & no liquid soap)
Spray as soon as they germinate, then every second day until the beans are ~ 300mm high (1 foot).

Hi,

Is this bean fly causing my beans to twist up?

Thanks.
