Natures Good Guys - Triple Blend Beneficial Nematodes HB+SC+SF (50 Million)

I have been putting in an orchard slowly as finances permit and have suffered losses from grubs and every manner of soil dwelling insect. I tried EVERYTHING. If it's not the grubs, it's the moles, raccoons, coyotes and fox digging up my tree roots and plants to get to them. I was ENTIRELY skeptical about this product, but did research and ordered about twice as much as I needed. It's only been 2 weeks and I consider my problem SOLVED. No more digging, no more dying and my trees visibly sprang back to life. Un-friggin'-believable!!!Highly recommend!! I did my garden, too, but haven't planted yet.I know they are still working, but literally in 2 weeks I SAW the difference!!VERY HAPPY!!!NOTE: My daughter had the microscope, but I was going to check them for viability. Next time I absolutely will...but the proof is absolutely in the pudding!!NOTE #2: I get extra points for going out with a flashlight in my boxers at 4am when ot was raining to spray them!! WORTH IT!

The media could not be loaded. I ordered the 50mil triple blend, they were alive, active, and ready to go! I used about 1/2 about a day after receiving them. I stored the rest in the fridge for about another week before reapplying. I checked them both times with a little pocket miroscope and both times they were alive and active.A few days before I got this order I had purchased a similar triple blend (different brand) that only had 5 million reported, that I found at a local Nursery for $25. A significantly higher cost comparatively, but when I checked the nursery bought nematodes, they were not moving around and did not appear to be alive. I'm not 100% sure that they were all dead because they weren't stick straight but they definitely weren't moving. When I called to tell them they were not alive, the people at the nursery said they weren't sure if they were actually supposed to move around or not.After getting this product from Nature's good guys, I'm pretty sure they were supposed to be moving around, because these guys were all over the place as soon as they touched water! I won't buy from a nursery again because there's no guarantee how long it's been sitting on the shelf. At least ordering Direct, I think there's a much higher chance that the nematodes will be alive and kicking. I have no idea if the nematodes will work their magic. I'm hoping it will be able to infect and kill some hibernating roaches, termites, and maybe some grubs and stink bugs. I live in Arizona and in the summer when these bugs are active it's way too hot and dry for nematodes, so I'm doing it now when it's cool and wet.-Pro tip: don't waste your time wetting the ground before and after if there's any rain in the forecast, just spray them out on a rainy day!Make sure to check your conditions before ordering! They need to have a damp/moist environment, ideally between 70° and 50°. Don't bother if it's above 90° out, I also wouldn't bother if it's dry and hot unless you really want to be out there wetting the ground every hour. And don't release them in the middle of the day when it's sunny, because they're sensitive to the sunlight.

So, this is my second year using their triple blend of nematodes and it’s been a life changer. I have two large beds (and a ton of potted plants) out back and living in a condo my back lawn is a 40 year old sand and grass nightmare of over fertilized and salted earth. After a year of soil building I had two beds that were approaching living soil, not just dirt and sand. The second season of veggies out there really told me the story, any edible plants and soft ornamentals were a target for EVERYTHING to feast on. You know the drill.My tomatoes especially had roots so knotty from invasive root knot nematodes that they were disease vectors and generally sickly to say the least. The missing ingredient in my soil was not mycos, the fungal network seemed alive and well. But learning to about the bacterial and microscopic food web changed everything for me.I used this mix liberally and watered it into my beds and all my plants, the neighbors yard, the tree line behind my house, you get the picture. And when I say this was the missing ingredient I wasn’t kidding. The next planting I did the results were obvious just using my eyes, no need for a soil examination. The balance this brought to my soil created a chance for the “good bacteria and bugs” to finally step up and keep things closer to balance. The new ecosystem proved more hospitable to worms, the roots of old plants and dirt broke down into soil so much faster the next season it wasn’t even funny.So now I know. I use this as a pretreatment for any raised beds, treat my potted plants monthly and having something that looks like water to spray on my neighbors yards makes them wave and makes my border large enough that I’m not under constant attack from property line soil differences. I will always recommend to people that this is a basic part of building good soil, don’t wait for problems and go looking for a solution. Use this to Eliminate so many common problems before everything is out of whack, it’s always easier to start on a good note then play catch up all season! 10/10 would recommend and also treat my neighbors property lol

The weevil damage has been reduced dramatically this year. It's primarily the peonies, red-twig dogwood and lilacs that have sustained this damage in the past. I have only a minor number of divots taken out of the peony leaves so far. I've also seen some dead weevils around the flower beds as well. Be sure to spray with a quality sprayer, not a cheaply made one for best results.

The media could not be loaded. When I received the product we had a drop in temps so I decided to store in the fridge in hopes of a warm up. After almost two weeks the temps are up in the 50s during the day so I decided to use today since it's predicted to be decent during the day for the next week. As you can see from the video there are lots of live nematodes after almost two weeks in the fridge. Hopefully, my weather holds its long enough for these to do their magic.
