In a moist, dark environment Beneficial Nematodes (Steinernema feltiae) kill almost all pests. Therefore, they are ideally suited to combat insects in and on the soil and those that bore into wood, trees and shrubs.
These microscopic, worm-like parasites actively hunt, penetrate and destroy over 230 different pests including fleas, fungus gnats, black vine weevils and white grubs. Naturally occurring, they are not harmful to people, pets, plants or earthworms and will continue working for 18 months.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Beneficial nematodes come premixed with vermiculite which is used as a carrier. They should be released as soon as possible. Do not release during the sunny part of the day, but rather wait until evening. If immediate release is inconvenient, you may refrigerate the nematodes at 38 degrees F to retain full potency for several months. DO NOT FREEZE.
Apply anytime grubs and larvae are feeding on plant roots, and when soil temperatures are above 32 degrees F. To apply, simply spread by hand over infested area and water. Killing action begins 24 hours after application. One pint beneficial nematodes contains 7 million active units and treats 200-400 square feet, or 1,050 4-inch pots.

After re-potting my plants I ended up with a bad Fungus Gnat problem. I was skeptical on whether these would work or not, but within 2 days they decreased a lot and by the end of the week they were gone! I suggest using yellow stick traps to catch the flying adults.
