Simply open easy flip lid and shake the pearls around plants infested by Fungus Gnats, Thrips and Root Aphids. Beneficial nematodes for fungus gnats allow the issue to be solved at the source as the fungus gnat larvae are eliminated by the nematode once it’s released by the adults.

If fungus gnats are already present, it will take 2 to 3 weeks for the adult flies to die off and for all larvae to be killed by the nematodes. Even chemicals that have shown an effect have only had a transient effect if placed in contact with for a short period of time. Save your houseplants and seedlings from Sciarid fly/ Fungus gnats and larvae damage with our parasitic nematodes. Like all beneficial insects, you can be sure that they’ll dine only on your garden’s pests and won’t harm the good bugs or your plants. Moisten the potting soil of the plants ahead of time so that the nematode solution will not run out underneath the pot when applied.Beneficial nematodes are living organisms, so there are a number of precautions that should be followed for successful use. It is important to remove all filters or screens (50 mesh or finer) in any spray lines so that the nematodes can pass through unimpeded and undamaged. Lightly irrigate with clear water within 30 minutes of applying to avoid nematodes drying out on the surface of the media or the foliage.

Like most biocontrols, nematodes are best used to keep pest populations low and will not remedy a serious outbreak already in progress. Easily monitored with yellow sticky cards, fungus gnat adults have long legs, many-segmented antennae and a single pair of grayish transparent wings with a Y-shaped vein near the wing tip.Our Nematodes will kill Fungus Fly Larvae where sticky traps will kill Fungus Fly adults, ensuring the entire life cycle of the pest is attacked. Nematodes therefore offer an easy solution to force ants to move their nests and get rid of the source. Let's face it, us plant parents will do anything to protect our green babies, especially if there is a pest that can harm it.
