Fungus Gnat Instructions:

Product is applied by simply placing Pot Popper bio-pouch at the recommended rate onto the soil. No pre-mixing, filtering or pre-irrigation is required.

  1. Place pouch directly onto soil at or near the base of the plant.
  2. Nematodes will be slowly released in approximately 5-7 days.
  3. Apply 1 bio-pouch per 5-gallon pot (12”). See application charts on page 2 for rates.
  4. Irrigate until growing media is moist but not overflowing. Irrigate regularly, if outdoors in dry hot conditions irrigate daily for 5-7 days.
  5. Re-apply in 10-14-day intervals, to treat next generation of pests.
  6. After opening, place unused bio-pouches into an airtight container (or provided Ziploc bag) to maintain moisture.
  7. Pot Popper nematodes are compatible with peat, coir, rock wool, vermiculite and other soil growing media.

Western Flower Thrips

Control of Western Flower Thrips is best accomplished with a two-step approach. Initial applications of Pot Poppers treat the soil dwelling lifecycle of Western Flower Thrips. To control adult stages a second foliar application with Fungus Gnat Control nematodes may be required.

Pot Popper Organic Insect Control can be used in a rotational program with many conventional insecticides to reduce pest resistance.
