This biological control solution is designed for vegetable gardeners and farmers struggling with wireworm larvae infestations in root crops like potatoes, carrots, corn, and peas. By utilizing a specialized mix of Steinernema feltiae and Steinernema carpocapsae, users can effectively target and reduce larvae populations that cause stunted growth and tunneling damage, though the treatment requires precise timing and soil conditions for maximum effectiveness.

They are specifically designed to target wireworms that attack root crops like carrots, potatoes, corn, and peas.
Wireworm larvae can persist in the soil for 3 to 5 years, which is why consistent, early treatment is important.
Start applications from May onwards, ideally 5 days before planting your crops.
You can generally apply the nematode solution using a standard watering can or a garden sprayer, provided you ensure even coverage.
Yes, these nematodes are biological organisms that target specific larvae and are safe for humans, pets, and wildlife.
Avoid applying during high heat. If a heatwave occurs, wait for the soil temperature to moderate before applying, or apply during the early morning or evening.
Ensure the soil remained moist after application. If the soil dried out too quickly, the nematodes may have perished before reaching the larvae.
If the package was left in extreme heat, check the expiration date and ensure the nematodes are still active; store in a refrigerator immediately to stabilize.
Proper storage is critical to product viability. Upon receiving your order, immediately store the product in a refrigerator at temperatures below 5°C. Do not freeze the nematodes. Before application, ensure that soil temperatures are not frozen, but avoid applying during the hottest parts of a heatwave, as extreme heat can reduce the efficacy of the nematodes.
To apply, mix the concentrate with water as directed and apply evenly to the soil. Crucially, you must water the treated area thoroughly within 30 minutes of application; this serves as a vehicle to transport the nematodes into the soil root zone where the wireworms reside.
