Product Information

Growers interested in using biological control are encouraged to begin by using beneficial nematodes to manage fungus gnats.

They multiply within the host and release a symbiotic bacterium which produces a toxin that kills the fungus gnat larvae. There's no harm in using nematodes at regular intervals, for example in Spring when eggs may be laid or starting to hatch. To treat an existing problem, we suggest purchasing enough for a subsequent application in 10-14 days for best results. They can move through the soil to hunt them down, and multiply by themselves until all the larvae are dead.litre of water for the 5 million pack concentrate, and add at least 1 litre of water for the 10 million pack concentrate.

The Beneficial Nematodes attack the Fungus gnat larvae stage within the soil to stop the life cycle. S. feltiae is a microscopic, non-segmented roundworm that seeks out and enters fungus gnat larvae through natural body openings like the mouth or anus. They then enter the pupal stage for around 6 days before emerging as adults to start the life cycle all over again.The effectiveness may be improved by adding a wetting agent and try to apply them in high humidity conditions for foliar applications. The nematodes hunt down and kill fungus gnat larvae in the soil, but are completely safe for people, pets and plants.
