Entonem

Steinernema feltiae – Entomopathogenic nematodes

How It Works: Steinernema feltiae nematodes will enter the pest larvae and release symbiotic bacteria into the body cavity. This bacteria converts the larval tissue into a food source, on which the nematodes feed, develop and reproduce. The host pest dies within a few hours to days after infection. 

Target Pests:

• Fungus Gnat (Sciarid Fly) larvae 
• Shore Fly larvae 
• Leaf Miner larvae
• The pupae and larvae of Western Flower Thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis) and Onion Thrips (Thrips tabaci) 
• Weevil larvae of the Coleoptera order, including the Black Vine Weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus). 
• Caterpillars from the Lepidoptera order.
  • Examples: Box Tree Moth, Tomato Leaf Miner, Diamond Back Moth, Armyworms, Cotton Bollworm, Corn Earworm, Tomato Looper, Cutworms, Silvery Moth, European Pepper Moth, Cabbage Looper, and Cranberry Girdler.

Best Use: Apply when larvae of the target pests are present in your growing space.
