I have approximately 12 house plants that live in three different areas of my house. I also happened to have a massive fungus gnat infestation due to these plants. The fungus gnats were in every single plant in the house and even after I threw away the rather expensive plant that I purchased from an online nursery (not Amazon) that started the infestation, the fungus gnat problem persisted. I tried a peppermint plant insecticide, a root wash product, cinnamon, neem oil, mosquito bits, glue traps, partial soil replacement, physically vacuuming the bugs up, a powered insect trap, and even just not watering the plants for several weeks.These fungus gnats were causing serious harm to some of the plants and basically were the final nail in the coffin for a plant that I’d had for more than 20 years. Some of the remedies worked to a degree. The mosquito bits were mildly effective at reducing the swarm, but did not completely kill the fungus gnats. The glue traps were always full of the adults, but did nothing to stop the larvae. After six months of trying everything I could think of and still having a massive problem, I was at my wits end and was seriously contemplating just throwing away hundreds of dollars worth of plants (including a large monstera and a kaffir lime tree).That was when I read about nematodes. I read the reviews, and they seemed to be as optimistic as literally all of the reviews I had read about the other products. I read reviews about them being delivered with an ice pack and that ice pack being warm. I gasped at the shipping costs being almost as much as the nematodes themselves. But then, I figured to cautiously give them a shot without getting my hopes up, as these would be my last resort.I followed the instructions and placed the nematodes in approximately 2 gallons of water and delivered them to my houseplants. I then kept the soil moist over the following two weeks. I do not have a fungus gnat problem in my house anymore. I am so relieved. I would give this product six stars if I could.If you have fungus gnats, I would highly recommend getting some nematodes and some glue traps. Skip the other products as they don’t work very well. These are the real deal. These microscopic critters ate away my problem and hopefully will do the same for you.
