It's been a few days since I released these and the fungus gnat larvae seemed to have increased.How long should this take to work?

I used it on my house plants that i had outside for the season and watered them twice with the nematodes over a three week period, plants came in, NO gnats- hope that helps

I've had a redworm bin for 21 years without having to buy more worms. I've had many fungus gnat and fruit fly infestations and have used this product many times. (Usually I move the bin outside, wait several days until the gnats disappear, then start a new bin using worms harvested from a worm bin I moved outside in my previous infestation cycle, hopefully many months before. I'm always afraid it will be only 99.9% effective and I'll breed resistance if I start out with too many gnats.)

I have found them to be effective, for 2 to 3 days. i believe the spray works much better.

Well vented but don't let The bins get to thick with debris. Nothing bothering mine other than worms and a little smell. Maybe you're putting to much compost debris in the bin at one time? it's taking too long for the worms to eat it so therefore the flies have something to deposit their eggs upon. I wouldn't hesitate to call the worm farm and ask him any questions, if you haven't done so yet.

Find the source of the fruit flies and throw it out. I used the trap and 3 days later no more flies. We had a bag of potatoes under the sink that was the source. The trap worked!

M batch has worked fine. I did go through two of the tubes before I was ant free. Additionally, the colonies seemed to relocate once they figured out they weren't able to sustain the colony after I applied the bait. So I had to be vigilant about searching for active ant trails in the early evening and running a couple of beads of the bait. It took a good two to three weeks of putting down the bait every two or three days before we were ant free in the house. However, if you feel it's just not working I"m sure you could contact the manufacturer and request a refund.

About 2 days to notice a difference. A lot of the infection was gone after about 4 days. Hope this helps &#128515;

Not sure but... I do see them here and there along with the little ants. This stuff is awesome. It's equivalent to what the pest control company we hire uses.... it works. Within 24 hours. Most poisons take about 3 days. Just be careful if you have kids

I really can't say exactly but not more that 30 days. But you definitely know that it is working. We have nothing, no gnats, no mosquitoes, no fleas, no ticks while it is working. at least 3 weeks!!

I had the same problem, try to wait for a while and they will release over time.I also used speed cream which help a little bit

I have the same answer as the other reply. It depends how many flies you have. Sometimes they fill up fast and sometimes more slowly. Usually mine fill in 3 weeks or so. I have chickens so I get more flies.

I would till, fertilize, and plant then right after apply the nematodes. Being that you have to pour water over the newly planted seeds to rid the ground of air pockets, its a good opportunity to start the nematodes at the same time. They started to work the very next day after i applied. Two days later, the gnats were completely gone and they havent come back. What you can also do is get some "gnat stix" to help get rid of or ward off gnats that are adults.

It's been a little while since I used these (they were great!) but I think I twisted/lifted the white liquid bait container just slightly after puncturing it, so the the ants had space to climb through (not sure the instructions said to do that though). That worked for me.

I never had a problem with gnats before purchasing this soil. When I opened the bag, I thought gnats might fly out based on what other people had to say about it, but nothing of the sort happened. It wasn't until I used it and watered it that gnats started hatching from eggs contained in the soil. So be prepared for this.

I just re-read the package; Terro doesn't say how long it takes. I'd guess about a week or so. In the meantime, I roll a piece of masking tape around my finger and "dot" up a lot of the little pests.

Wow, they got in somehow & are thriving in the warmth of your home! This would be a lower cost option than the exterminator again but don't they guarantee their product? I'd keep making them come out. If you try this spray, you'll need to launder everything possible in hot water, spray in and under furniture (test wood & fabric first). Like I was told "think like a flea"! Good luck!!

Yes! I was quite surprised! I had Orkin coming for 4 months and no changes with my little critters, was still seeing them every day. Then I set these things out and after 4 days, I saw no critters again. I have not changed the traps for 5 months, but intend to do so at month 6, just to be safe. So I have been critter free for 5 months and 12 days, so far! UPDATE: I was going to change at 6 months, didn't... thought I would wait and see if I needed to. Well, I am at 9 months now and still no more bugs... I think I will be safe and change them out at 10 months. Already have my order in hand and ready to replace them.
