Coverage
One container of Fungus Gnat
Control benefi cial nematodes will
cover approximately 2,000 square
feet. For heavy infestations, horticul-
turists should use one container to
cover 1,000 square feet. The benefi cial
nematodes can live for a long time, so
one application is generally enough
to last an entire growing season.
However, in the case of a persistent
problem, a second application may be
used.
Let the bag soak for
up to an hour, stirring oc-
casionally. Squeezing the
bag during the soaking
process will help get more
of the benefi cial nema-
todes into the water (don’t
worry; the benefi cial
nematodes will not hurt
you). Pour the water into
the sprayer and be sure to
agitate while spraying to
keep the concentration of
nematodes uniform. After
application, the grower
can untie the bag and put
the contents directly in
the soil or medium (there
will still be some active
nematodes left). If the
mixture is to be added to
an irrigation system, the
irrigation system’s fi ne
fi lters should be removed
to allow the nematodes
to pass through. Again,
the treated area should be
kept moist for a few days after application.

Storage
For the best results, keep the
benefi cial nematodes out of direct
sunlight as direct sun will kill them.
If you will not be using them imme-
diately, benefi cial nematodes should
be stored in a refrigerator. They will
last in the refrigerator for over one
year. After being mixed with water,
benefi cial nematodes can be stored
in a refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Indoor horticulturists and green-
house growers have some major
advantages over outdoor growers. The heightened
control over environmental conditions, lighting, and
nutrition can lead to impressive results. Unfortu-
nately, these controlled environments can also be
a safe haven for pest insects. Since indoor gardens
and greenhouses do not automatically have natural
predators to combat pest insects or pathogens, it is
up to the grower to implement such measures.
For many gardeners who eat or otherwise con-
sume their crops, chemical pest treatments are not
a viable option. Organic and natural pest treatment
methods are the best ways for a horticulturist to
treat pest insects and pathogens without the fear of
tainting his or her crops. Many gardeners are health
conscious individuals who wish to use only products
that have been proven safe for people, pets, plants
and the planet. It is refreshing when companies, like
Orcon, make it a priority to provide gardeners with
safe alternatives to harsh chemical pesticides. The
folks at Orcon offer an array of benefi cial insects,
natural repellents, pollinators, and soil amendments
designed to keep an indoor, outdoor, or greenhouse
garden healthy with a little help from Mother Na-
ture. GG
