Can be used on all indoor house plants, tropical plants, and any time you add more potting soil to your plants Easy to apply with a watering can or hose-end sprayer for outdoor uses Fungus gnat control nematodes are microscopic worms that seek out larval stages of various fly and other Diptera insects that develop in the soil.

If populations of fungus gnats are observed on yellow sticky cards or potato slices that exceed grower-defined action thresholds, biological or chemical control options are warranted.

Symptoms of fungus gnat infestations are sudden wilting, poor growth, chlorosis (yellowing), and foliage loss. A very common pest that many of us see hovering around the soil in our indoor plant pots, known as fungus gnats is not something to ignore, why - because they can multiply pretty quickly and make our 'zen' greenspace in our home a little more 'buggy' than we would like. In houses, ants are attracted to crumbs of food or food left out, particularly fruit and anything containing sugar. These flies occur naturally in many environments and may fly back inside to infest your plants once again.

This way, we'll show you advertisements based on your interests, and you'll be able to share information via social media.Do not apply when the ambient air temperature exceeds 32°C, or the soil temperature exceeds 25°C or is below 12°C as the nematodes will become stressed or will be inactive. These maggots primarily feed on fungi and organic matter but they can also cause a serious damage to many ornamental plants. House Plant Boost can be applied either as a drench to the compost the plants are growing in, or as a foliar application to the leaves or foliage. As fungus gnats can move in from untreated areas, and have several generations present at once, the problem can arise again.

Numerous plants are susceptible to damage from Fungus Gnats, especially during their early growth stages. Nematodes feed on multiplying bacteria, mature into adults, reproduce and then emerge as infective juveniles from the cadaver to seek new maggots in the potting medium/soil. Common egg-laying sites include moist organic debris/potting soil, decaying wood (mulch), and ground cover plants.If using a watering can stir and pour a portion of the liquid into the watering can and add more water, then water pots or affected soil. Hypoaspis miles are small predatory mites that inhabit the soil or compost surface around the plant stem and feed on the eggs and larvae of Fungus / Sciarid Flies.

Overwatering your houseplants, or simply having a lot of them, can wreak havoc to your indoor space.An entomogenous nematode Steinernema carpocapsae is compatible with potting media environments created by horticultural practices. Multiplying nematode-bacterium complex causes septicemia and kills the host usually within 48 h after infection.
