Full Description

These NEW SLOW RELEASE Sciarid Fly Nematodes are encapsulated in small pellets, which means they LAST LONGER (they will keep for 3 months once opened), they do NOT need to be refrigerated, you can use what you want and close the lid until the next time and are VERY easy to apply i.e. just shake them out over the surface of the compost – no need to dilute and water on. Also known as compost fly / fungus gnat, Sciarid fly is a common pest of greenhouse plants and houseplants. The Sciarid flies crawl over the compost surface and if disturbed fly on to the lower leaves – there can be very annoying especially on houseplants. The larval stage in the compost attacks the roots and can kill young seedlings. Use these NEW SLOW RELEASE Sciarid Fly Nematodes to control the sciarid fly larvae and use Pot Glue Traps to control the adults until the pest is under-control.
