Save your houseplants and seedlings from Sciarid fly/Fungus gnats and larvae damage with our parasitic nematodes. 

Biological controls are not always kept in stock, they are ordered in fresh.  This can sometimes lead to a time lag between when you place the order and when it is despatched.

The adult fungus gnats/sciarid flies live on and around the compost surface of pots, more commonly indoors rather than outside. The flies themselves are an unsightly nuisance but most of the damage is caused actually by their young. The small white larvae live in the compost and feed on the tender roots of plants and cuttings. They will also come to the surface to feed. 

Nematodes are more effective if the sciarid population is high. The nematodes are watered on, and attack the sciarid larvae underground. Parasitic nematodes seek out suitable hosts by swimming in the thin film of water on soil particles, locating hosts by detecting carbon dioxide and other waste products. Once they find a host, they enter the body cavity through the breathing or feeding systems, and release bacteria (Xenorhabdus). The bacteria kills the host within hours, and the nematodes grow and reproduce within the 'broth', which they produce. The next generation of infective juveniles leaves the dead host, and moves in search of fresh hosts.

You can read the instructions for the nematodes HERE.

Combine with yellow sticky traps for better control.  A second treatment may be required depending on the level of infestation and the life cycle stage of the pest.

This is an awesome toy for dogs and cats!
Color: red
This is such a cool toy for a dog or a cat. I bought it for my 28 pound Aussie doodle. She’s slightly laid up after an injury recently so I’m trying to come up with things she can play with in the house without excessive running. This totally keeps her engaged and she loves it. But I have to watch her because every once in a while she’ll just catch it and try and chew on the ball! But I’ve been sharing it with my neighbor who has a cat. She’s borrowing it today and her cat loves it too! It seems pretty durable overall but it certainly doesn’t want my dogs’s jaws trying to crack it into. You do hear a humming noise while it’s running but I think that’s to be expected. Mostly I just love how much it entertains both dogs and cats!!

So cute and entertaining to watch!
Color: pink
Bought for my miniature schnauzer. She didn’t know what to think at first but loves it now. It’s so much fun watching her play and keeps her busy! My dog isn’t much of a chewer and loves the movement/chase of this toy. Wouldn’t recommend for big dogs or chewers as there’s a plastic piece that can come off.

I stops working & doesn't recharge
Color: blue
I just recieved this yesterday 5-23-2026. My new puppy loves it. But after it stopped working and I went to recharge it. it just will not recharge. I currently have it still trying to recharge. so I am not sure what to do other than trying to charge it. I may need to look for something else.

Nice Idea But Won't Last With A Frenchie
Color: orange & blue, Color: orange & blue
My dogs loved the balls, however, withing 30 minutes, they were in pieces. Be careful because these parts can become choking hazards. Maybe they should try to make them a bit more sturdy, then I would buy again. Wish I could give them more stars because I liked them and the dogs did too.
