Gnatrol
2 YEAR SHELF LIFE​

Gnatrol is a highly selective, biological larvicide for use in greenhouses to control fungus gnat larvae. It may be used on a wide variety of ornamentals, as well as all bulb crops, bedding plants and vegetable sets. Once the larvae have ingested Gnatrol, they become paralyzed, stop feeding immediately and die—usually within 24 hours. Gnatrol is now available in a water dispersible granule (WDG) formulation that has a 2 year shelf life and will not leave a residue. It is also much easier to measure for increased application accuracy. Light, Medium or Heavy depending on if you are using it as a preventative or for a light to heavy infestation.

Fungus Gnat FAQ

How long does Gnatrol WDG take to work?

Gnatrol kills larvae within 24–48 hours.
Visible results typically appear in 7–10 days as adult gnats die off.

Why do I need to make applications every 5-7 days?

Gnatrol only kills larvae while they are actively feeding, and each application remains effective for a limited time. Reapplying every 5–7 days ensures newly hatched larvae are targeted, breaking the life cycle over 2–3 weeks.

Is it safe to use Gnatrol WDG indoors around people and pets?

Safe for indoor use  •  Pet friendly 
The naturally occurring soil bacterium (BTI) specifically targets fungus gnat larvae.

BTI is harmless to people, pets, and plants. 

Should I continue to use Gnatrol after Fungus Gnats are gone?

Yes — small monthly applications help prevent future infestations, especially if you bring in new plants, new soil, or move plants between indoor and outdoor environments.
