NaturesGoodGuys Beneficial Nematodes Triple Blend Pack HB+SC+SF - General Biological Pest Control (10 Million)

I've tried EVERY organic and natural treatment possible to knock out a persistent and incredibly heavy fungus gnat infestation in my houseplants - hydrogen peroxide, neem oil, cinnamon, mosquito bits, even another brand of nematodes from Amazon. Nothing had worked. NaturesGoodGuys was the only product that finally did what it claimed. Shipping was impressively fast and handled with care...FedEx Priority Overnight from Oregon to NYC, insulated between two gel ice packs. Even though my package was delivered at room temperature, the nematodes inside were still alive and active. I unpacked them right away and placed the sealed organism packets in the fridge (inside their original bubble sleeve to reduce light exposure) as recommended. Following the clear instructions, I mixed and watered all my indoor plants. The results: gnat numbers visibly dropped about 30% per week, and by the fourth week—none at all. I haven’t seen a single gnat in the last week, and my plants are healthy and happy. No more tiny bugs buzzing my screen, face, and lights. You can probably find cheaper nematode products, but these are the real deal. They arrive alive, shipped fast, and with clear instructions. I’m so happy with the result that I’m putting NaturesGoodGuys on my subscribe and save list for future auto-orders. Can’t recommend highly enough if you want a true biological pest control solution that works.

My inhouse plants developed a serious case of fungus gnats over the winter. UGH. Literally within 3 days of applying these little babies the reduction is HUGE and my plants are healthy. I like that these are a natural organic solution. My process was to water my plants well, then the next day - apply the solution of these nematodes. 3 days later I watered again lightly to keep the soil moist. These are going on recurring order.

Hard to tell, but I’m fairly certain these did help my garden. I had less damage from soil borne pests such as a vine borders, cucumber beetles, and squash bugs. Although they were still there, the numbers were significantly reduced. Prolonging produce season!

Did not eliminate the fungus nets. Due to the delivery process. I'm not sure they were even still alive when I received them. When delivered, they were left in the heat of the day on my sidewalk in front of the house.. Not knowing how cool they need to be kept. And without a microscope, I couldn't tell you whether they had lived. I certainly like the idea of treating bugs without chemicals, but the proof is in the pudding. And I still have Fungus nats

*** after 3 emails & asking for a phone call I did get a replacement over nighted to me. I was so busy I forgot to update my review. I also just got my spring order a couple weeks ago, not fond of the envelope & prefer the box. But the microscope don't lie and they were very much alive! Well... I hate to do this, but... I am so mad right now! I have ordered from this company for almost 5 years and have ALWAYS had excellent outcome!! Packaging was Horrible!! A bubble wrap envelope with ONE hot icepack! Normally they come in a Styrofoam container with multiple ice packs. I tested under the microscope immediately and had NO MOVEMENT!! I emailed immediately and got the response " they are very yardy and the icepack is for moisture" Hmm... Okay, then why does it say refrigerate immediately and to keep below 45 degrees until your getting ready to use them??? Response also said they would smell like rotton meat if bad, maybe they werent "rotten" yet, Just dead. Either way I've emailed again and still waiting on a response. Last year they shipped them on a Thursday and I got them the following Wednesday, obviously they were bad. They replaced them with NO PROBLEM!! Im not sure if theres a new manager or they've just given up on running a reputable business but i am livid at this point. We get crane flys really bad, this is why I order twice a year. So guess what... The flys have done tore up my yard because the nematodes arent working like they usually do. I even put them in a container with multiple grubs (as I do with EVERY batch) any other time the grubs are dead or at least soft and dying with in 24 hours. NOPE NOT THIS TIME!!! they're all still nice and plump digging around. Guess ill be searching for a new company and chalking this up as a loss unless they man up and send me new ones with peoper packaging. "IF" I get them and they're alive I will Most definitely Update this review. I understand the pandemic is making it hard on all business's and keeping enough employees around to properly ship products. But uf you cant do it right, just shut down for a while.
