Nema Globe 8 x 1 million Beneficial Nematodes (S.feltiae) - Pot Popper Organic Indoor Fungus Gnat & Insect Control

Best stuff I have ever used ! We have tried many different items for the darn soil flies and nothing works. I saw this and read the reviews and thought I’d try it. So glad I did !!!! It really does work and so easy to use ! I recommend you open 2 pouches per pot and spread all around the top of soil . I recommend this product 👍👍👍

Since the reviews here are iffy and there are no easy better alternatives to these on Amazon, here is my review. Upon buying, you will get some pouches, which you need to put near at the top of the soil (in terrarium pots in my case) where there is space, next to your plant(s) that is suffering from gnats. I had 2 indoor open terrariums that had gnats, which kept multiplying, hence bought these to see if I could rid them. First, delivery was awesome, came on a Sunday morning without extra delivery fees. First 3-4 days: It will not be obvious to you at first if these pouches are making a difference. I couldn't see any of the nematodes and it was not obvious whether the little balls inside the pouches were the nematodes and, if so, how they are going to work. 1.5 weeks: I noticed that there were noticeably fewer (maybe 30% less?) gnats in my 2 terrariums. Since the gnats had previously multiplied at a rate that was noticeable every 3 or so days, I thought maybe the nematodes were working. The pouches didn't change in appearance. You are supposed to keep them damp, which I did. After a whole 2 weeks or so from applying these pouches: - In 1 terrarium (with 2 tiny plants inside), the gnats were gone! Amazing since that terrarium had been suffering from gnats for at least a month and my plants had visibly lost vigor due to those lousy insects. - in the other terrarium, there were no gnats flying about, though upon looking closely there was a few still inside on the soil. This was a big improvement since for that one, I had been killing around 7-20 gnats PER NIGHT before the pouches came. - I still had a good number of pouches left, which you are supposed to keep at a certain temperature range. Since I was worried that the pouches were too cold to keep in my frig but normal temperature in my house was too warm to keep these pouches "effective" long term, I decided to use up the remaining pouches on my (cilantro) plants outside on my deck that had gnats. - overall conclusion: these nematodes work. After they are done, you will know because the little balls look "dried up" (as opposed to moist balls). These nematodes do not move or look like animals at all, so you may wonder what the heck it was that you bought. However, it was clear they were effective because my gnats were gone and they did not just disappear by themselves. You just have to be patient; they will not work overnight but will need about 5-10 days. Be sure to keep the pouches moist. Last word: my terrarium that was especially previously gnat-infested became 95% gnat-free, but my plant never recovered, so after about another 3 weeks (in addition to 2 weeks w/ these pouches), I decided to give up on the wilted plant and put a new plant, with new soil, in the terrarium. So, lesson learned is to try to not have overly watered plants in the first place, otherwise curing becomes bothersome or not effective regardless.

The Pot Poppers were the only thing that got rid of the fungus gnats. I had spent over $30 on other products that didn’t work until my friend researched this and recommended it to me. Now we both swear by it and recommend it to everyone!

I have a small jungle in my house. These work pretty darn well for fungus gnats. I ope nthe package and separate the balls. I put one ball every 2-3 cm of the surface of the soil. There are some other parasitic nematodes that work more quickly and efficiently, but for a more money. These are good as long as your plant isn't about to die from it's infestation and you aren't going to freak out about the fungus gnats flying around. If I want quick control, I would use this and another nematode product at the same time as applying this. The other works more quickly but these seem to last a little longer. These are MUCH better than using neem oil or some poison in your house. don't do that.

This product ended my battle with fungus gnats. I have many plants in my home and every time I added a new one or repotted an old one, the dreaded onslaught began. I tried everything. Traps, lights, sticky traps. They all worked, but the gnats kept coming. I began using these and I have been gnat free for a couple of years now. I will say that I have moved to a different version that doesn't come in the small packets. I don't find that a particularly convenient way to use them. That's the only thing keeping this from getting 5 stars from me.
