DALOTIAforce™ for Fungus Gnat, Shore Fly, and Thrips Control

Sciarids and Shore Flies Control with DALOTIAforce™

Achieve reliable Sciarids and Shore Flies Control naturally with DALOTIAforce™, featuring Dalotia coriaria, a predatory rove beetle that targets fungus gnats (Sciarids), shore flies, and soil-dwelling thrips pupae. These beetles provide proactive and sustained pest management without chemicals.

Monitoring Your Sciarids and Shore Flies Control

DALOTIAforce™ beetles are primarily nocturnal but may be observed during daylight. Monitor their presence and activity by:

  • Inspecting soil, Rockwool, and facility walls.
  • Utilizing sticky traps to gauge beetle and pest populations.
  • Conducting the potato slice test: place slices in soil to attract fungus gnat larvae and predatory beetles.

Special Considerations for Hemp and Cannabis Cultivation

When using DALOTIAforce™ in cannabis cultivation, carefully adhere to recommended application rates to avoid beetles becoming trapped in buds during flowering.

Proper Storage of DALOTIAforce™

Maintain beetle viability with short-term storage:

  • Store beetles at 45-55°F and high humidity.
  • Keep bottles or bags horizontal for optimal beetle activity.

Recommended Release Rates

  • General Prevention: 0.2 Dalotia beetles per sq. ft.
  • High Infestation Areas (Hot Spots): Up to 1 beetle per sq. ft.
