Was sind Trauermücken?
Trauermücken sind kleine, schwarze Fliegen, die häufig in Blumenerde von Zimmerpflanzen, Anzuchtgefäßen und Gewächshäusern auftreten. Die adulten Tiere sind harmlos, doch ihre Larven fressen an Pflanzenwurzeln und schwächen dadurch besonders junge oder empfindliche Pflanzen.
Ein Befall macht sich meist durch kleine Fliegen bemerkbar, die beim Gießen oder Bewegen der Pflanzen aufwirbeln. Besonders feuchte Erde zieht die Schädlinge an – dort legen sie ihre Eier ab.
Wie kann ich einem Befall mit Trauermücken vorbeugen?
- Staunässe vermeiden: Gieße nur, wenn die oberste Erdschicht trocken ist. Trauermücken bevorzugen dauerhaft feuchte Erde.
- Pflanzen regelmäßig kontrollieren: Achte auf auffliegende Fliegen beim Gießen sowie auf schleimige Stellen in der Erde.
- Gelbtafeln einsetzen: Die erwachsenen Trauermücken werden von Gelb angelockt und bleiben kleben – so kannst du sie überwachen und reduzieren.
- Nematoden ausbringen: Mit GREEN GUARDIA Nematoden (z. B. Steinernema feltiae) bekämpfst du die Larven gezielt in der Erde – ganz ohne Chemie.
- Blumenerde abdecken: Eine Schicht aus Sand, Vermiculit oder feinem Kies verhindert, dass die Fliegen ihre Eier ablegen können.
- Topferde wechseln: Bei starkem Befall hilft es, die befallene Erde vollständig zu entfernen und durch frische, sterilisierte Erde zu ersetzen.
🌿 Tipp: Setze bei ersten Anzeichen direkt Nematoden gegen Trauermücken ein, um eine Massenvermehrung der Larven zu verhindern. Eine frühzeitige Anwendung spart dir spätere Schäden an Wurzeln und Pflanzen.

No, nematodes are completely harmless to humans, pets, and plants. They specialize in specific pests and cause no harm.

The first effects usually appear after about 5–7 days. Complete control takes up to 3 weeks, depending on the pest and the severity of the infestation.
Yes, nematodes can be used regularly in vulnerable areas to prevent pests, especially if there are recurring problems with fungus gnats or grubs.
