Do beneficial nematodes actually work?

Beneficial nematodes can be a great alternative to chemical pesticides, and a very effective addition to Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs. However, beneficial nematodes are living organisms and using them for pest control does require accurate information, proper storage and shipping and careful application.

How long does it take for nematodes to work?

How Long Does It Take To See Results? Usually 3-7 days, with maximum effect occurring over 2-4 weeks. Nematodes disintegrate the pests from the inside out, so you will not see dead insect bodies as you would with a chemical knockdown.

How do you tell if nematodes are working?

You can see results immediately. Using a spade or shovel, turn up the ground where nematodes were applied, to check for dead larvae. Once you have seen dead larvae, this tells you that the nematodes are working.

What is the best time of day to apply nematodes?

It's a good idea to apply your nematodes during low light periods (morning or evening are best). It is very important that you mix and apply your nematodes quickly so they don't 'expire' in the can. You want to insure the nematodes have a chance to get into the soil before the water is evaporated.
