Fungus gnat treatment with nematodes protects potted plants and window boxes from the small flies seen fluttering in the soil. This biological control method is remarkably effective at eliminating fungus gnat larvae that attack young plants to feed. Nematodes are microscopic worms invisible to the naked eye. This method of controlling fungus gnats is free of harmful chemicals. Advantage of the gel formulation: The gel formulation of nematodes involves mixing them with a gel that keeps them alive and protects them from the external environment. This protects the nematodes from heat, UV rays, insects, and other environmental factors that could kill them. The nematodes are better protected and have a longer lifespan in the gel formulation, which increases their effectiveness in pest control. The gel formulation allows for better dissolution of the nematodes and prolonged suspension. In fact, the nematodes settle less quickly in sprayers, making them easier to use. This is a live product with a short expiry date. Do not buy in advance. Use the entire sachet at the time of treatment. For preventative or curative treatment, apply as soon as pests appear when the temperature reaches 10 to 12°C. Simply water the soil. Moisten the soil to be treated. Pour the powder into a watering can, add water, and mix well. Water the soil with the resulting mixture, even if it is not homogeneous, and keep the soil moist for a few days. To complete the treatment, we have added 10 XXL double-sided sticky traps, effective for up to 3 months.

Biological treatment of fungus gnats and other fungus gnats using Steinernema feltiae nematodes
Fungus gnats are small, black flying insects that lay their eggs in the moist, organic-rich substrates of pots or flower boxes. Their larvae consume plant roots, causing weakness, wilting, and even death. To combat them, Steinernema feltiae nematodes are used; these microscopic worms are useful as a biocontrol solution. They are supplied in powder form, varying in appearance from granular to finer and in color from white to brownish, and in consistency from dry to moist depending on the preparation. These organisms attack fungus gnat larvae, thus providing natural and effective protection for plants.

Long-Lasting Gel Formulation –
Cryptobiosis
Cryptobiosis is a state of slowed life in which organisms can remain dormant for long periods of time, awaiting more favorable living conditions.
This characteristic is particularly interesting for nematodes used in agriculture, as it means they can survive for months without food or water.
The gel formulation of these nematodes involves mixing them with a gel that keeps them alive and protects them from the external environment. This gel is easy to apply and can be used for a variety of pests.
Benefits:
• Protection: The gel formulation protects nematodes from heat, UV rays, insects, and other environmental factors that could kill them.
• Effectiveness: Nematodes are better protected and have a longer lifespan in the gel formulation, increasing their effectiveness in pest control.
• Ease of Use: The gel formulation is easy to apply and can be used on a variety of crops, making it a convenient solution for farmers, gardeners, and plant enthusiasts.
• Prolonged Suspension. Indeed, the nematodes settle less quickly in sprayers, making them easier to use thanks to their rapid dissolution and prolonged suspension. Finally, 100% of the clay contained in standard formulations has been removed, thus eliminating the whitish residue sometimes present on flowers and fruit when used as a foliar spray. In conclusion, the gel formulation of the nematodes offers numerous advantages, including increased protection, improved efficacy, and ease of use. These advantages, combined with the nematodes' ability to survive cryptobiosis, make it an attractive solution for users seeking effective and sustainable pest control. Effectively combat adult fungus gnats with our yellow insect traps. Designed to capture these pests, they represent an ecologically sound and effective control method.
These traps are the ideal complement to a nematode treatment, offering a complete solution for managing the life cycle of these insects. While nematodes attack the larvae in the soil, our sticky traps target the adults, thus preventing reproduction and the spread of the infestation.
Yellow insect traps are your effective ally against the fungus gnat. Thanks to their double-sided sticky design, they offer a monitoring and preventive capture solution for infestations.
Features
Safe and Eco-Friendly: These traps do not emit any odor and are harmless to humans and most plants. They are exclusively intended for indoor use to protect beneficial insects like bees outdoors.
Water Resistant
The trap's effectiveness remains intact even after watering the plants.
Instructions for Use
•Package Contents: You will find 10 insect traps with various designs.
•Preparation: Carefully remove the white protective film from each side of the trap.
•Placement: Insert the trap directly into the soil of your plant.
For optimal effectiveness, check regularly and replace the traps as soon as they are full of insects.
