Description
Against fungus gnat larvae
Solbac combats fungus gnat larvae in plant pots. This highly specific, biological preparation based on Bacillusthuringiensis (var. israelensis) is gentle on beneficial organisms and harmless to fish, pets and plants. It is available in liquid form (Solbac 100 ml) or as tablets (9x Solbac tabs).
Application:
Fungus gnats are tiny black midges. They can be found on the plant soil or near the pots that they buzz around. Their larvae feed on the roots of the plants. Sensitive plants can die if they are heavily infested.
To control fungus gnat larvae, add one tablet of Solbac-Tabs or 2.5 ml Solbac per litre of watering water to the watering can. The plants are watered as normal. Repeat the treatment after 14 days. The visible effect of the product occurs after 10-14 days. For very heavy infestations, we recommend the use of the nematode preparation Traunem®.
Tips for preventing fungus gnat infestation: When buying plants and soil, avoid pots and bags that are already swarming with fungus gnats. Avoid standing water in the saucer. Use glue traps to monitor the infestation.
