Scarid 10 Fungus Gnat Treatment

Scarid 10 is a concentrated growing media treatment developed to help prevent and manage Scarid Fly (Fungus Gnat)infestations in hydroponic systems, greenhouses, indoor gardens, nurseries, and potted plants. Fungus gnats are one of the most common pests encountered by growers using coco coir, potting mixes, propagation media, and other moist growing substrates. Regular applications of Scarid 10 help reduce pest pressure while supporting healthier root systems and stronger plant growth.

Although adult fungus gnats are mostly a nuisance, their larvae feed on decaying organic matter and tender young roots beneath the growing media. Heavy infestations can damage seedlings, reduce plant vigour, slow growth, and create entry points for root diseases. Because larvae remain hidden within the growing media, early prevention is often far more effective than treating a severe infestation.

Scarid 10 is designed to be applied directly to the surface of the growing medium where fungus gnat larvae are active. Weekly applications help maintain protection by treating the area where eggs are laid and larvae develop. When combined with good growing practices such as avoiding excessive moisture, removing dead plant material, and using sticky insect traps to monitor adult populations, Scarid 10 forms an effective part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program.

Suitable for use in coco coir, premium potting mixes, propagation trays, hydroponic media, and container gardens, Scarid 10 is easy to mix and economical to use thanks to its concentrated formulation.

For best results, apply the solution evenly over the surface of the growing media while avoiding unnecessary contact with plant foliage. Regular monitoring for adult fungus gnats using yellow sticky traps will help determine when repeat applications are required.
