Live Beneficial Nematodes Hb+Sc+Sf - Kills Over 200 Different Species of Soil Dwelling and Wood Boring Insects. (5 Million_Nematodes)

These worked. Temporary for sure but they worked well enough that I am back to buy more. Remember the soil has to be moist for these guys to live and be effective. I love that they are natural solution for pest control indoors. They have no smell and the instructions were easy to follow. The value was good compared to buying something from the store or replacing sticky strips.

total destroyer of gnats indoors plus great in the garden for all the other bugs

I treat my dahlia and flower beds with beneficial nematodes each spring, to decrease japanese beetle grubs as well as other pests. They also attack root knot nematodes and I've successfully eliminated them from several areas in the yard. I highly recommend using these.

Takes a while to work

Let me start out by saying that within two weeks of applying 1/2 of the nematodes to my 2 cubic foot indoor container, my fungus gnat infestation had *completely* disappeared and I was extremely surprised. Unexpectedly, up to 3 days before they fungus gnats disappeared I still had a tent full of them and wasn't sure the nematodes were working. The only downside is that because of the way the manufacturer described the equipment requirements for spreading the nematodes, I remained pretty stressed the entire time and at the end there was no need for it. First off, the fugus gnat infestation was really bad, there were hundreds of them flying around the 3x3x7 grow tent constantly. I could watch them running up and down the trunk of the plants from the soil - it was creepy and I was nervous that they'd spread to all of my other plants and grow tent. A couple of friends told me immediately to apply nematodes and the problem would resolve. The instructions for applying the nematodes say that they require at least a .8mm opening for them to pass through. I'm not sure if anyone has ever tried to measure a hole that small, but let me tell you it isn't easy. In my opinion their instructions could be more clear for us gardeners and that's why I deducted a star. I used my standard off-brand cheap 1gallon garden sprayer to apply the nematodes. I adjusted it so that it was almost completely a stream to make sure the hole was big enough to allow the nematodes to pass. My advice?? YES, nematodes are amazing, they work fast, they're a beneficial part of an organic garden and I would suggest everyone use them every time they fill a container. YES, you can use a standard garden sprayer set to stream to apply them.

We had a nasty fungus gnat problem that all the sticky traps in the world couldn’t help. I used this from a TikTok recommendation and, at first, I thought it helped because I didn’t see as many gnats in the room with our plants. It turns out they were just visiting other rooms for a bit and returned to the plants. A systemic pesticide fixed the issue.

I have nine raised beds and also have many other very large planters in my yard. Bugs seem to thrive in Georgia! I read about beneficial, nematodes, and thought I would try them. Very easy to use; just mix with water and sprinkle around the beds. I found that I had many less of the problematic insects this year will be buying more as my garden was excellent after using the beneficial nematodes.

I purchased the triple blend packet to treat a termite tube and surrounding ground along the foundation wall of our house. I cannot see that it made any difference at all after two weeks. I introduced the product by mixing per the instructions. I lightly sprinkled the tube with the nematode solution and flooded the ground around the entry point to the tube. I watered the ground in the heat of the day after initial treatment to make sure ground temps did not exceed 86 degrees per instructions. The soil temp averaged about 76 degrees. I introduced some of the treated mud into a jar of termites. It appeared to have no effect after several days. I just accidentally jarred the termite tube which fell apart while trying to introduce a piece of cardboard treated with borax and sugar (after giving up on nematodes) and it was full of termites. Total waste of two weeks and money based on my experience.
