Fungus
Gnat & Thrip Rx
 
Fungus gnats feed on the roots of plants when they are in the larval stage.
They then emerge as mosquito like adults, buzzing around your plants and house.
Fungus Gnat Rx is for house plants. If you have this problem outside use the Lawn
Pest Rx which will help you with larger areas. The beneficial
nematodes in Fungus Gnat Rx quickly eat the Fungus gnat larva.
Without Fungus Gnat Rx plants loose vigor, wilt and may die.

Soil Pest Rx
Beneficial nematodes - Care & Handling
Soil Pest Rx
Beneficial
Nematodes products should always be very fresh to maintain their high quality
and vitality. When picked up at your garden center they should have been
refrigerated.
KEEP REFRIGERATED - until you are ready to use them. Use within 2 weeks of
purchase or before the expiration date.
DO NOT FREEZE - you will kill them, you may refrigerate them for a few days
before you use them.
DO NOT EXPOSE TO HEAT - you will “cook” them. Soil Pest Rx on
sponges cannot take the heat for more than a few hours. Do not leave packages
exposed to direct heat above 85F. for more than a few hours.
DO NOT EXPOSE TO SUNLIGHT - it will sterilize them within minutes and kill them
shortly there after.
REMEMBER TO WATER - you need to drench the soil in the area you are applying
Soil Pest Rx.
Contact
with dry surfaces may kill them. They are creatures that depend on moisture to
help them move through the soil to search out and kill the pests that are
causing problems to your plants.
ALWAYS USE THE ENTIRE PACKAGE - once the seal is broken it would be difficult to
maintain the product quality and its effectiveness.
HOW MANY TO USE? - the established and proven science regarding the use of
beneficial nematodes for pest control continues to conclusively show that in
most circumstances you need to apply 15,000 (Flea control), 20,000 to 25,000
(Cutworms, Grubs & Weevils) to 30,000 (Root Knot Nematode) per square foot.
How many, depends on the pest being controlled and the level of the pest
infestation.
ABP Bio Control packages and labels the correct species of
beneficial nematode with the coverage area and the pests controlled to make the
selection process quite easy and hassle free. Do not be fooled by suggested
rates on any competing brand labels that suggest 1,000,000 per 1,000 to 3,000
square feet. Such claims cannot be supported by any of the current credible
scientific evidence developed & gathered through research at leading
universities and nematode producers.
Easy application of the Soil Pest Rx
in
this package can be done with a garden hose (at least 50 to 75 feet) and a hose
end sprayer. In the event your retailer does not have our specially designed
sprayer then select an Ortho or Gillmore dial sprayer (for ease of use I like
the Ortho dial sprayer) .
Soil Pest Rx
are
compatible with most fungicides, insecticides and herbicides. Contact your
retailer or us for the latest test details.
