Fungus Gnat & Thrip R_x

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 R_x Beneficial nematodes - Care & Handling
Soil Pest R_x 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 R_x 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 R_x.  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 R_x  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 R_x are compatible with most fungicides, insecticides and herbicides. Contact your retailer or us for the latest test details.
