Nature’s Creation Live Beneficial Nematodes

Nematodes for Insect Control

Predator and prey, host and parasite; these are among the mechanisms that Nature has put in place to maintain balance on our planet. We have all experienced insects preying on our vegetables, flowers, and lawns and we know that Lady Bugs and the Praying Mantis are insects that prey on other insects. Now through the use of careful breeding techniques we can add one more soldier to our battle to keep insect pests in check and avoid the use of toxic chemicals. That soldier is the teeny weeny, itsy-bitsy, microscopic NEMATODE.

Feeding

Application is simple. The mixture, including the medium is mixed with cool water and allowed to stand. After 30 minutes, the mixture should be filtered through a fine kitchen strainer or piece of fine screen to separate the liquid from the vermiculite. The concentrate is mixed at the rate of one ounce to a gallon of cool water then applied with a hose-end or pump up sprayer. Some sources discuss applying either early in the morning or late in the afternoon. For maximum viability we recommend that you apply them at dusk. They are sensitive to uv light. Water the areas to be treated thoroughly. Concentrate the spray to areas where control is needed. Remember to apply to the soil, for most insects it is not necessary to spray foliage. Water again after application. It makes it easier for them to travel and seek their hosts in a cool wet medium and washes them down onto the soil where they do the most good.
