## Description

desertcart.com : The Environmental Factor Nematodes Organic Insect Control Pot Popper, Controls Fungus Gnats, Root Aphids & Western Flower Thrips - 100% Pesticide free, 8 Infusion Bio-Pouches Per Popper : Patio, Lawn & Garden

Review: Works very well, just poor product label description - Since the reviews here are iffy and there are no easy better alternatives to these on desertcart, here is my review. Upon buying, you will get some pouches, which you need to put near at the top of the soil (in terrarium pots in my case) where there is space, next to your plant(s) that is suffering from gnats. I had 2 indoor open terrariums that had gnats, which kept multiplying, hence bought these to see if I could rid them. First, delivery was awesome, came on a Sunday morning without extra delivery fees. First 3-4 days: It will not be obvious to you at first if these pouches are making a difference. I couldn't see any of the nematodes and it was not obvious whether the little balls inside the pouches were the nematodes and, if so, how they are going to work. 1.5 weeks: I noticed that there were noticeably fewer (maybe 30% less?) gnats in my 2 terrariums. Since the gnats had previously multiplied at a rate that was noticeable every 3 or so days, I thought maybe the nematodes were working. The pouches didn't change in appearance. You are supposed to keep them damp, which I did. After a whole 2 weeks or so from applying these pouches: - In 1 terrarium (with 2 tiny plants inside), the gnats were gone! Amazing since that terrarium had been suffering from gnats for at least a month and my plants had visibly lost vigor due to those lousy insects. - in the other terrarium, there were no gnats flying about, though upon looking closely there was a few still inside on the soil. This was a big improvement since for that one, I had been killing around 7-20 gnats PER NIGHT before the pouches came. - I still had a good number of pouches left, which you are supposed to keep at a certain temperature range. Since I was worried that the pouches were too cold to keep in my frig but normal temperature in my house was too warm to keep these pouches "effective" long term, I decided to use up the remaining pouches on my (cilantro) plants outside on my deck that had gnats. - overall conclusion: these nematodes work. After they are done, you will know because the little balls look "dried up" (as opposed to moist balls). These nematodes do not move or look like animals at all, so you may wonder what the heck it was that you bought. However, it was clear they were effective because my gnats were gone and they did not just disappear by themselves. You just have to be patient; they will not work overnight but will need about 5-10 days. Be sure to keep the pouches moist. Last word: my terrarium that was especially previously gnat-infested became 95% gnat-free, but my plant never recovered, so after about another 3 weeks (in addition to 2 weeks w/ these pouches), I decided to give up on the wilted plant and put a new plant, with new soil, in the terrarium. So, lesson learned is to try to not have overly watered plants in the first place, otherwise curing becomes bothersome or not effective regardless.
Review: Works VERY well - I had a HUGE fungus gnat problem. I know that sticky traps are only half the battle because those just kill the adults. You need to kill the larvae that turn into adults and start the whole disaster all over again. So, I bought these with skepticism but was so happy that it helped...A LOT! The plants with the packets in them removed at least 95%, it not more, than the fungus gnats in that plant. It is soo nice to be able to water my plant and not have a ton of annoying little black things flying out and all around the place. I did need the sticky traps as well, but using this in combination with the sticky traps all but eliminated my fungus gnat problem. <3

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Could this product help with scale?**
A: I dont think so - its supposed to work with Fungus gnat larvae in the growing medium and on thrips on the plants. My package arrived with no live nematodes or at least we could not detect any even under the microscope.

**Q: Are they eggs or adult worms that are incapsulated in those small white balls? How can I tell if they have escaped from there and entered the soil?**
A: They are little white balls of goodness that are hungry for fungus gnat larvae. They are in a paper bag and they do not turn into worms. I opened a couple of the packs to mix in with the dirt. They do their thing and pass away

**Q: The instructions indicate one pouch is designed for a 5 gallon pot.  I wanted to use them on smaller pots.  Is this okay?**
A: its okay, you can't really overdose, but if you want to safe money , just open the pouch and put the amount you want!

**Q: Can I dissolve in water then pour into the ground around plant?**
A: It stands within reason that if these things devolve quickly that you can use it in that way. Typical nematodes are applied by mixing the live nematode packet into agitated water, then water the plant with said wormy water.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ These work!!!
*by A***R on August 2, 2025*

These do work. After 2 applications for me...the fungus gnats were all gone. I think that I may have needed 2 applications because the first set I got were already expired...and I did not notice till after I put them on the plants. I tried both techniques of opening the bags and sprinkling them, or just placing a bag on the surface of the soil for bigger pots. Make sure to look for expiration date printed on the brown plastic ball, before you open it . It may be older than the sticker on the outside says. One plus side, is that if you do notice it is expired, and tell the seller, they will let you return it unused.
