Hi! What is the best way to use nematodes for fungus gnats? I bought some but the instructions aren’t clear. Do I sprinkle them on the soil and then water? Do I keep watering for three days?

I’ve seen that you usually just put them in the water you’re going to water your plants with and let them go into the soil that way

U mix it with water then drench your plants after. I recommend athena IPM or Gnatrol if u really care abt your plants.
