PRO TIPS

  • Release indoors at any time, or outdoors in the morning, evening, or on a cloudy day. Nematodes are vulnerable to ultraviolet light.
  • Water soil before application. Soil surface should be kept moist for two weeks after application. Soil temperature of 44°-86°F is optimal. If soil temperature is higher than 86°F, irrigate with at least 0.1 inch of water before and after application.

  • Proper identification of the pest species is important. Monitoring the crop closely and introducing beneficial insects early will help in control pest populations.

  • Pesticides, even wetting agents, and spreader-stickers may adversely affect beneficial insects' survival. Broad spectrum and systemic insecticides are toxic.
