Hey Robin ( in the video) this is another Robin and I just bought these nematodes from the Rainbow Gardens on Thousand oaks, came home and googled how to use them. Your video was the second one that popped up on RUclips. 🤓It's a sign they are going to work great I think. Thanks for the info!
Beneficial Nematodes are microscopic, non-segmented roundworms that occur naturally in soil throughout the world. Inside the nematode's gut is the real weapon - beneficial bacteria that when released inside an insect kill it within 24 to 48 hours. Nematodes enter insect body cavity or wound and release their bacteria. Toxins produced by the bacteria kill the insect within a couple of days. Nematodes feed on the liquifying host and the bacteria; developing into adults.

Terrific! We hope they work great for you. We love these little microscopic do-gooders!
can I use it in drainage? probably after some cleaning solution and if there's anything left pour nematodes into system. would it be an effective?
oh no, any cleaning solution would kill off the beneficial nematodes.
How does the pest ingest these? From the water/moisture?
