Sciarid Fly Nematodes Fungus Gnat Compost Fly Organic Natural Killer Treatment Treats 12.sqm

Product Information

Continuous and overlapping generations of fungus gnats in the greenhouse have made most control strategies difficult. S. feltiae can be used as a stand-alone control option, in combination with other BCAs such as Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies israelensis, Hypoaspis aculeifer, H. The larval stage of the sciarid fly attacks the roots of plants and may cause the death of seedlings. Steinernema feltiae nematodes are natural predators of ants and ants will move their nest once predators move in. Common egg-laying sites include moist organic debris/potting soil, decaying wood (mulch), and ground cover plants.

In houses, ants are attracted to crumbs of food or food left out, particularly fruit and anything containing sugar. Water the growing media before and soon after application, but avoid over watering so they aren't washed out of the container. The House Plant Care Bundle will provide you with all the necessary products to ensure that your house plant collections benefit from healthy and continual growth.Slowly pour the nematodes into the water whilst stirring the solution to ensure all lumps are dissolved. Hatched larvae feed on a variety of organic matter: decaying material in the media, fungi, or root hairs. The adult sciarid flies live on and around the compost surface of pots, more commonly indoors rather than outside.

We offer a 10m 2 kit containing both the nematodes and yellow sticky traps, or a 20m 2 pack size depending on the area you need to treat.Effects of application rates of Steinernema feltiae (Nematoda: Steinernematidae) on control of the mushroom sciarid fly, Lycoriella auripila (Diptera: Sciaridae). So my question is - can I use this on all of the other plants I have in the same room, regardless of if they have a gnat infestation? 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. Then water all your plants and do not try to achieve full drain as that will leach out the nematodes. 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.
