If you’ve ever dealt with fungus gnats in your houseplants, you know how quickly they can go from a minor nuisance to a major problem. But what if your soil could stop the issue before it even begins? That’s exactly what Entomite-M is designed to do.
Entomite-M is a beneficial predatory mite that lives invisibly in your potting mix or as a top dressing. You won’t see it—but you’ll definitely notice the results. These tiny allies quietly patrol the soil, feeding on fungus gnat larvae and other soft-bodied pests like thrips larvae. The result? Infestations are stopped before they start.
How to Use Entomite-M
Mix into soil when repotting:
Create a built-in defense system from day one by incorporating Entomite-M directly into your potting mix.
Apply as a top dressing:
Add it to the surface of existing plants for ongoing protection—especially in warm, moist environments where fungus gnats thrive.
Why It Works
Unlike many commercial potting soils—which can unintentionally introduce fungus gnat or thrips larvae—Entomite-M comes in a clean, pest-free carrier. That means you're not just avoiding a problem, you're actively protecting your plants from one.
Even if you overwater (we’ve all been there), Entomite-M is already in place to keep fungus gnat populations in check. Without it, those same conditions could lead to a rapid outbreak. With it, you’ve got a natural, invisible line of defense working for you 24/7.
The Hidden Threat Beneath the Surface
Adult fungus gnats can be mildly annoying or genuinely disruptive—but either way, they’re just the tip of the problem. The real damage happens underground.
Fungus gnat larvae feed on plant roots, interfering with nutrient uptake and causing slowed growth, yellowing leaves, and even long-term decline. If your plants aren’t thriving and you’re not sure why, larvae could be the hidden culprit.
That’s why early, proactive protection with Entomite-M isn’t just helpful—it’s essential.
