We've always had problems with onion fly. Trying out this mesh to see if it keeps them at bay.
The larvae burrow into the bulb and cocoon themselves. Means the garlic doesn't keep as well and if you don't fancy protein enrichment you have to go picking the blighters out
I wouldn't panic. I don't think everywhere gets them. They might be in our soil or something - we haven't been rotating crops as well as we should've been
