Phytoseiulus persimilis Galendromus helveolus Hypoaspis sp. Beneficial Nematodes Steinernema sp. Beneficial Nematodes are microscopic, nonsegmented worms that occur naturally in soil all around the world. Once they are released, the nematodes seek out host insects and enter their prey through body openings and emit an endo-toxin that results in death for the host insect within 48 hours. The nematodes reproduce and their offspring feed on the insect cadaver and emerge to seek out new hosts.
Nematodes are easy to use.
They are shipped in a formulation that you mix with water. Always release early in the morning or late afternoon when temperatures are cooler. See application rates below. Make releases every 3-6 weeks or until infestation subsides. Control begins within 24 hours of treatment and lasts for up to several months.
