How do sciarid fly nematodes work?

Sciarid fly nematodes hunt down the sciarid fly larvae in the soil, burrow inside and kill them. They then reproduce inside the larvae, producing more nematodes to hunt down more sciarid fly until none are left. For best results, buy our Sciarid Fly Kit which also contains sticky traps to target the adults as well. Targeting both life stages drastically improves chances of eradication.
