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

Product Information

For the mini yellow sticky traps, simply place them in the soil around your plants using the wooden stand holder provided. Mini yellow sticky traps catch and kill the adult gnats, and so using this combination deals with both life stages for a higher chance of complete eradication. These nematodes kill both maggots (larvae) and pupae, but the second and fourth stages are most susceptible than pupae. The House Plant Mister/Sprayer included in this bundle is the very tool required for the latter application process. I was gifted a plant from Norway that ended up causing a fungus gnat infestation in my mini monstera's soil.

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. The Beneficial Nematodes attack the Fungus gnat larvae stage within the soil to stop the life cycle. Preventative – As a preventative apply as part of a structured periodic application or in advance of historical seasonal infestations. Spray the soil or compost and ensure plenty of the solution is applied directly onto the Fungus Fly larvae. Sciarid fly (also known as fungus gnat or compost fly) is a troublesome pest of houseplants and plants in greenhouses and conservatories.Irrigate well immediately after treatment, and maintain moist soil conditions for the next 7 to 10 days. NemaKnights TM gives you a natural, biological control of a Fungus Gnat (adults and larvae) Thrips Control, Root Aphid and larval soil pests in containers and gardens indoor and outdoor. While adults are more commonly noticed and can be a nuisance, they do little physical damage to the plants, however they can transmit harmful diseases. Vine weevils are common pests that feed on over 200 species of plant, including fuschia and rhododendron, as well as berry fruits, like strawberries and raspberries. feltiae can cause 40% reduction in fungus gnat population in Ball-mix, 50% in Metro-mix and 56% in Pro-mix, but only 27% in the Nursery-mix.

Application of an appropriate concentration of nematodes is a crucial step in the cost effective control of fungus gnats in greenhouse production. 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.

Place the stand holder into the soil in a pot, keeping the sticky card a few centimetres above the ground. Scanmask is available in two formulations: either as a product you spray or in a solid formulation which you apply as a topdressing. Lightly irrigate with clear water within 30 minutes of applying to avoid nematodes drying out on the surface of the media or the foliage. 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. They multiply within the host and release a symbiotic bacterium which produces a toxin that kills the fungus gnat larvae.

Fungus gnat maggots (larvae) are white-bodied with black heads and can be found just under the surface of the potting medium/soil. Once they find a host, they enter the body cavity through the breathing or feeding systems, and release bacteria (Xenorhabdus). See our Eco Sticky Traps, Yellow Sticky Traps, Extra Large Yellow Sticky Traps , or our Mini Sticky Traps(for smaller pots).The longer the nematodes are kept before spraying and the warmer the tank water, the more quickly their energy reserves are used up.

Due to this preference, fungus gnats are a prevalent pest in greenhouse and indoor growing settings as well as in outdoor potted plants. Here at Sun Harvest, biological pest control is the cornerstone of our integrated pest management program and we are happy to share our expertise with all plant parents and gardening enthusiasts about these safe and effective means of pest control. 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.

The sticky traps are supplied as a pack of 5 that will attract and catch a wide variety of house plant insect pests including: Adult Fungus Fly, Thrip, Whitefly and Aphids. The Dragonfli House Plant Care Bundle combines products that boost the overall health and growth of your house plants whilst also aiding them in battles against pests and diseases. If there are many adult flies, then you will need to remain patient for 2 to 3 weeks for all of the larvae to become infected and die off.
