My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Will a window hydroponics unit attract insects?

13 years ago

Hi guys, I'm new here and new to gardening. I'm considering setting up a window hydroponics unit. I live in the deep south where it's hot and humid over half the year, and my roommate likes to keep the front door open when he smokes (10+ minutes per day). We live right next to a large nursery where they grow lots of trees and shrubs.

Indoors, we keep the air circulating 100% of the time, and we run AC and keep the house at or near 70 degrees constantly.

Will an indoor window hydroponics unit attract bugs and insects into the house and on my plants? The only way I'll be allowed to have indoor plants is if I can guarantee my roommate that it won't attract bugs.

Thanks.
