I tried Bug Clear (the ordinary version) on those annoying little flies that breed in the damp soil of pot plants and it didn't work  They still fly in front of your face and commit suicide in your tea

You need pyrthroid insecticides or nematodes to treat Sciarid flies

and pyrethroids are the ones being banned I think

Interesting to hear that they are banned...

What on earth do these people in Brussels do all day?

Surely they do some work...
