Product Reviews
I have used this product for a number of years, it certainly works. I didn't need to use last year but unfortunately had to use late this year for sawfly caterpillar.
My item came on time and I have had no carrot fly this year, and have just received my second box to do my garden again. Its nice that they send one box at a time, saving postage as I only have a small garden.

The best way to protect seedlings from this pest is by using nematodes via a soil drench: Grow Your Own, from Nemasys (obtainable from, among others, Harrod Horticultural – harrodhorticultural.com). It is only available from April (when the soil generally reaches the correct temperature for the nematodes to become active).
