# Has anyone tried using beneficial nematodes to fix their fungus gnat…

_Publié par Ally le 2023-09-06_

Has anyone tried using beneficial nematodes to fix their fungus gnat problem? The idea of putting more live creatures into my plants kind of freaks me out but these fungus gnats are getting out of control… Also, do the nematodes remain in the soil or do they die off once their food source is gone? Thanks!

Be aware that creatures will always be around - even without plants! Adding beneficial nematodes is much better than having annoying fungus gnats everywhere. And yes they die off once their food source is gone.
