It is the go-to nematode for fungus gnats and a useful tool against soil-stage thrips. The microscopic nematodes are harmless to people, pets, and plants, and fit cleanly into greenhouse, cannabis, and nursery programs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it targets\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFungus Gnat larvae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eShore Fly larvae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eMushroom Fly larvae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eWestern Flower Thrips, Onion Thrips, and other thrips (adults, larvae, and pupae)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCrops it supports\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eOrnamentals, hemp\/cannabis, vegetables, mushrooms, soft fruits, and tree nurseries — in greenhouses, indoor facilities, fields, and gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow the nematodes work\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eInfective juvenile nematodes penetrate the host through its natural openings.
