Steinernema feltiae beneficial nematodes, are naturally occurring soil-dwelling roundworms that specialize in controlling insects with a soil stage. Highly effective against fungus gnat larvae, thrips pupae, root maggots, and shore flies, these nematodes are widely used in greenhouses, nurseries, hydroponics, and houseplants. Safe for people, pets, pollinators, and beneficial insects, S. feltiae provides consistent, biological protection below the soil surface without chemicals.

How It Works
Once applied, nematodes move through soil or growing media to locate pests. They penetrate the insect body through natural openings or the cuticle and release symbiotic bacteria that kill the host within 48–72 hours. Nematodes reproduce inside the pest, and new juveniles emerge to find fresh hosts. Populations persist for 2–4 weeks as long as suitable hosts remain.

Targets These Pest Species

  • Fungus Gnats (Bradysia impatiens)

  • Shore Flies

  • Sciarids

  • Thrips (Franklinothrips spp., pupal stage)

  • Root Maggots

  • Onion Maggots

  • Cabbage Maggots

  • Fruit Flies (Drosophila)

  • Crane Flies

  • Beet Armyworm

  • Black Cutworm

    …and other larval-stage soil pests

Ideal Conditions

  • Soil temperature above 42°F (6°C)

  • Soil/media kept moist before and after application

  • Apply early morning or evening to avoid UV exposure

  • Nematodes reproduce in hosts and remain active for up to 2 weeks in soil

Application Instructions

  • Mix with water and apply using hose-end sprayer, pump sprayer, watering can, fertigation/irrigation systems, or syringe for hydroponic cubes/media

  • Apply immediately after mixing; do not leave nematodes in water for more than 2 hours

  • Pre-water area before application and lightly water afterward to aid soil penetration

  • Apply twice, 7–10 days apart, to break pest life cycles

  • Repeat in spring and fall or as pest pressure dictates

Cake plate size
Item Package Quantity: 200, Size: 7 Inch Plate
These are more like cake plates or children's plates. I use them for desserts or a sandwich but when I want a bigger one then I get the other ones a bigger size...... The quality is good though and the price is acceptable.
