Beneficial Nematodes are microscopic worms that are found naturally in the soil. These Nematodes are safe to use around People, Pets and will not harm other beneficials.

Nematodes actively hunt for insect larvae, entering through natural body openings. Once inside the larvae, the nematode excretes bacteria from its digestive tract before it starts to feed and multiply. Within a few days the pest will change color and die. The nematodes multiply and develop within the dieing insect, before leaving the old host to hunt for more pests. As the number of pests decrease, so will the nematode population. For this reason seasonal releases are recommended.

Release Rates

• 5 Million - Treats 300 sq ft
