Product Information

Full details

Designed for gardeners and pet owners dealing with persistent pest infestations, this nematode mix offers a biological solution to manage lawn fleas and plant-damaging flea beetles. By using Steinernema feltiae and Steinernema carpocapsae, the treatment effectively targets larvae in the soil, providing a safe alternative to harsh chemicals for households with pets, children, and pollinators. While highly effective, it requires precise timing with a two-part application process and consistent soil moisture management to ensure the microscopic organisms survive and thrive.

FAQs

Are these nematodes safe for my dog?

Yes, these nematodes are biological organisms that are safe for pets, children, and pollinators.

When is the best time to apply them?

Apply in the evening or on an overcast day to protect the nematodes from UV light.

Do I really need to do the second application?

Yes, the second application is critical for killing larvae that hatch after the initial treatment.

Can I use these with chemical fertilizers?

It is generally recommended to avoid heavy chemical pesticides while using biological nematode treatments as they may interfere with their effectiveness.

How do I store them if I'm not using them immediately?

Store them in a refrigerator below 5 degrees Celsius until the expiration date.

Troubleshooting

Pest population remains high after application

Verify if the soil was kept moist for the full 3-4 week period; if the soil dried out, the nematodes likely died.

Nematodes were left out of the fridge for an extended period

Check the expiry date and packaging; if the temperature exceeded 5 degrees for too long, the viability of the organisms may be compromised.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Environmentally friendly and chemical-free
  • Safe for use around children, pets, and bees
  • Covers a generous 25 sqm area
  • Easy application via watering can or sprayer

Cons

  • Requires refrigeration for storage
  • Must be applied in evening or overcast conditions to avoid UV damage
  • Soil moisture must be maintained for 3-4 weeks
  • Strict adherence to two-treatment schedule is mandatory

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Remove the nematodes from the fridge shortly before use.
  2. Dilute the treatment with water according to package instructions.
  3. Use a clean watering can or a garden hose-end sprayer to distribute the liquid over moist soil.

Care Instructions:

  • Storage: Keep the product in the refrigerator (below 5 degrees Celsius) until the moment of application.
  • Moisture Control: You must keep the treated area consistently moist for at least 3 to 4 weeks after application. If the soil dries out, the nematodes will die, rendering the treatment ineffective.
  • Compatibility: These are compatible with most soil types but perform best in organic-rich, aerated soil.
