FAQs

When is the best time to apply these nematodes?

The most effective application windows are late August to October or March to April.

How do I store the product before use?

The product must be stored in the refrigerator immediately upon arrival to keep the live organisms viable.

Is this product safe for my dog?

Yes, these nematodes are a biological control and are safe to use around pets, children, and pollinators.

How much area does one pack cover?

Each pack is sufficient to treat up to 100 square meters of lawn.

What happens if my lawn dries out after application?

Nematodes require moisture to move through the soil. If the area dries out, their effectiveness will be significantly reduced, so you must keep the ground damp for 7 days.

Troubleshooting

Nematodes are not reducing the pest population.

Verify that the soil stayed moist for the full 7-day period following application and that the soil temperature was sufficient for activity.

Sprayer nozzle keeps clogging during application.

Ensure all fine-mesh filters in the watering can or hose-end sprayer are removed, as they will trap the nematodes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Safe for pets, children, and wildlife
  • Non-toxic biological solution
  • Easy to apply with standard gardening tools
  • Effective at protecting grass roots

Cons

  • Requires refrigeration upon receipt
  • Must be applied within specific seasonal windows
  • Demands consistent soil moisture for success
  • Live product with a limited shelf life

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this is a live biological product, immediate storage is required. Place the pack in your refrigerator as soon as it arrives to maintain the viability of the organisms. Avoid freezing or excessive heat.

Compatibility is universal across most lawn types, but ensure the soil temperature is sufficient for nematode activity (generally above 10 degrees Celsius). When applying, remove any fine-mesh filters from your sprayer to prevent the nematodes from being filtered out of the solution. Keep the treated area moist for 7 days post-application to ensure the nematodes thrive and effectively navigate the root zone.
