Felti - against fungus flies

Felti are microscopic nematodes that occur naturally in Dutch soil. The small worms penetrate the larvae in the potting soil and secrete a bacterium that kills the fungus fly within 2-3 days. Felti is known as a nematode that is effective at relatively low temperatures.

The product is supplied in powder form. Felti nematodes can easily be dissolved in water and distributed over the potting soil with a watering can. An easy and natural way to combat fungus flies, without harming plants, bees, birds and mammals!

1. Dosage
Assuming a houseplant with a pot of 40 cm diameter.

• 5 million is enough for 25 houseplants
• 10 million is enough for 50 houseplants
• 25 million is enough for 100 houseplants

2. When to bet
Felti works best when the soil temperature is between 10 °C and 25 °C. Do not expose to direct sunlight: apply in the evening, morning or during cloudy weather. After application, it is important to keep the soil slightly moist for another two weeks, so that the nematodes do not dry out.

3. Shelf life
It is advisable to use the nematodes as soon as possible. Do you want to keep the nematodes longer? Then store them in the refrigerator between 4ºC and 8ºC. The nematodes have a shelf life of 1 week after receipt, provided they are refrigerated. Do not store the water solution again.

4. Location
Felti can easily be applied to the potting soil of houseplants with a watering can.

5. Repeat treatment
A one-time application does not guarantee that the fungus flies will disappear from the houseplants forever. Multiple repeat treatments are recommended to break the life cycle.

Under optimal conditions, Felti can kill a fungus fly larva within 1-2 days. In practice, the nematode will have to find the larva first. After 1-2 weeks there are fewer mourning flies present.

For complete control, the use of Sticky Leaf trapping cards is recommended. This also tackles the adult mourning flies and prevents the adult flies from laying eggs.
