I'm a new AV grower, and I'm worried about bugs! (I keep fresh fruit in a bowl, and I need a fruit fly trap every Spring and Summer... so I'm paranoid)

Should I add a bit of Marathon and Avid to my soil as a preventative? Why wait until the problems come?

Where's a good source of these products?

Thanks,

Ellen
