For When You Want the Soil to Handle It
If fungus gnats, thrips pupae, or root aphids are crashing the party below the surface, Steinernema feltiae is how you politely kick them out. These microscopic roundworms hunt through the soil, slip inside pest larvae, and release symbiotic bacteria that take them out from the inside. It’s not pretty—but it works.
Once they’ve handled one host, they reproduce and go looking for more. Give them a bit of moisture and a manageable temperature range, and they’ll keep working long after the first application.
Best For:
Fungus gnats
Thrips (pupal stage)
Root aphids
Scarab grubs, weevil larvae, flea larvae, and dozens of other soil-dwelling pests
Why Choose the Easy-Release Powder?
Fast action. Infective juveniles start working within days.
Sustained control. They reproduce underground for ongoing suppression.
Cool-weather champs. Still effective at soil temps as low as 46°F.
Easy to mix. Quick-dissolving formula makes even application simple.
How to Use
Water the soil before applying—moisture helps nematodes move.
Mix powder into water according to your coverage needs.
Apply with a watering can, hose-end sprayer, or backpack sprayer.
Keep soil lightly moist for 2 weeks after application.
Avoid applying in full sun or extreme heat.
