Environmental Factor 4003242 1 x 5 Million Beneficial Nematodes

I would really like to believe that these really helped get my fungus gnat infestation under control. During the summer I noticed that I had a serious fungus gnat infestation when over a hundred of things were swarming around my room. After getting fed up with them I used three boxes in total of these on my orchid collection, and I can tell you that the amount of fungus gnats that I saw dwindled in numbers very quickly. I went from seeing several day to just a few every now and then to none in a matter of a week. I have nothing to compare this to, but it was awesome. These little nematodes in addition to the yellow fly traps definitely did the trick. And just so you know, while nematodes are soil organisms, they did just fine in the coarse bark orchid media that my plant were planted in. So if you're having problems with these pesky little gnats then I highly recommended these. It's always hard buying something when you're not exactly sure what you're getting lol.

My first indoor grow and I made the mistake of using a small amount of composted manure! Probably only 4-5% of my total soil mixture ! It was infested with gnat's! And in a few weeks I had a thousand gnats! What a disaster ! I did three things! # I bought fly strips and hung about 8 of them above the plants! #2 Mix one bottle of peroxide with one gallon of water and pour that mixture around EACH plant. The soil will foam but it WILL NOT hurt your plants! And # 3 After TWO days have passed mix this nematode product into some room temperature water that you intend to water your plants with and pour over your plants! The instructions on the box will tell you how much water to use! I was able to treat my 5 plants with one box of this product! PROBLEM SOLVED THE GNAT'S WERE NOMORE ! I grew my plants with a organic soil mixture that had many ingredients such as blood meal, bone meal, bat guano, oyster shell, kelp meal, Azomite, Kelp meal but my point is that I had many ingredients in this soil and what I did , didn't affect my plants in any negative way! Anyways this is a great product that let me sleep at night!

I have purchased this product several times. I was given a plant some time ago and I was happy to add it to my indoor plant collection. Unknown to me at the time, the plant had fungus gnats. They quickly spread to all of my other plants and they began to look sick. I learned from online research that he larva eat the roots of the plants and this leads to leaves dying and flows wilting.Unfortunately, I have not found a way to properly store any left over solution so anytime I add a new plant I need to reorder this product to treat that plant. Somehow those gnats reappear if I don't treat the new plant. Today, my garden flourish thanks to this product.

I did three separate applications of this product to my indoor plants and saw no reduction in gnats. The nematodes came in weird clumps that were hard to get to dissolve in water. Only after waiting a couple weeks for this to not work did I finally get the yellow sticky paper. Between the paper and diluted peppermint oil sprayed on the dirt I have finally begun to get this gnat problem under control, no thanks to nematodes.

This is a great product. It took two applications to rid my houseplants of the infestation of gnats. They were everywhere. I transplanted three houseplants in 16" pots with a soil that was infected. I did not want to replant them again to rid myself of these annoying and contagious gnats. I put a yellow bowl close to the pots with 1/2" of apple cider vinegar in the bottom of them. Yellow attracts them and the vinegar works pretty good to get them to fly around/into the bowl. Put a drop or two of dish soap to hold them in the vinegar by making a pretty good surfactant. You can use yellow paper in the area of the infestation too. The vinegar got the gnats already flying around and the nematodes got the ones still in the dirt. I highly recommend this product.

Bought this product last year this time for the same issues with soil gnats. For the same price I received two treatments and directions which explained the why two treatments was needed. It worked perfectly. This order came with only one treatment, and sure enough, one just wasn't enough to eradicate the gnats. Went with another insecticide that worked beautifully with only one treatment. BYE!

Well, with the positive reviews, I was really hoping this was save my plants! I followed directions and used the whole two gallons to treat me plant collection, as the gnats had actually traveled rooms, and I have many plants.I combined with sticky traps, and I also spend a few minutes a couple of times a day using the vacuum hose to remove as many as I can from around the pot of a particularly bad plant.These nematodes have not even put a dent in the population. It's been almost a week now, and they're thriving as ever. I guess I'll upgrade to some Bt.

Updated Post on August 27, 2018: Great Product! I 💯 would buy again.Updated Post on July 29th: Company gets 5 stars for customer service. After posting my review, they contacted me and sent me the product with updated packaging. Have dosed my plants and have noticed some improvement. Will re-update once I'm done with the second dose, as per instructions. I will say the gnats seem to have gone except for one plant that I believe I missed the first go-around. Fingers crossed!Original Post was on June 30th: Had it for two weeks stored in original packaging and things got funky in there. Expiration date listed September but it's only June. Still used it on the plants. We'll see how it works out. If there are no bugs will adjust my review.
