› Grower guide More information about Soil Pest Control
Hit soil-dwelling pests where they live — at the root zone — with nematodes and predators that clear fungus gnats, shore flies, grubs, and thrips pupae. Residue-free and root-safe.
Soil-dwelling larvae are shielded from foliar sprays, so the fix has to go into the media with them. Soil pest biological control does exactly that: beneficial nematodes for soil pests work alongside predatory soil mites and rove beetles to attack larvae and pupae directly.
Why choose biological soil pest control
Living agents move through the media to find pests, leave no residue, are safe for people, pets, and earthworms, and integrate with organic and IPM programs. They also catch thrips pupating in the substrate — a bonus that strengthens your whole IPM plan.
How to build your soil program
Drench beneficial nematodes to infect larvae, then seed the surface with Stratiolaelaps soil mites and Dalotia rove beetles for ongoing patrol. Keep media evenly moist after nematode application, ease off overwatering, and reapply preventatively through the crop.
What's in this collection
- NEMAforce SF / SC / HB — beneficial nematodes (S. feltiae, S. carpocapsae, H. bacteriophora) for gnats, shore flies, and grubs.
- STRATIOforce — soil mite for fungus gnat larvae and thrips pupae.
- DALOTIAforce — rove beetle that patrols the media surface.

Frequently asked questions
Do beneficial nematodes work on soil pests?
Yes — nematodes enter and kill larvae of fungus gnats, shore flies, and grubs; match the species to your target pest.
What is the best soil predator?
Stratiolaelaps mites and Dalotia rove beetles for the surface and shallow media, plus beneficial nematodes for deeper larvae.
How often should I apply soil biologicals?
Start preventatively and reapply through the crop; combine nematodes with soil mites and beetles for layered, ongoing control.
Are they safe for my plants and staff?
Completely — they target only pest larvae and are harmless to plants, people, pets, and earthworms.
