@@NoNo-bd2db I only saw 4 green lacewings out of 5,000 I also ordered from Orbico 1,000 green lacewings and their product was a little better I saw around 20 green lacewings
I am SO GLAD I bought that Ortho hose end sprayer when I bought my nematodes. I hadn't seen this, but now I feel like it was the absolutely perfect product to buy. I have one question: If you are spraying into a deeply mulched area (e.g., three inches of shredded leaves), do you need to rake that back? Or can you just spray it in well and water it in?
Well, people, don't make the same mistake I just did. I set my sprayer (for 25 mil) to 1.5 tsps. instead of 1.5 ozs. It was taking bloody forever. That level was just creeping down. Then, when I realized my mistake and reset it, I was able to finish the job before I passed out from boredom.
Thank you for making this video. I do have some questions. What if our sprayer does not have a way to set the amount of solution sucked out per part of water? Also, I have a 15million batch but this was not mentioned when the setting for ounces was given.
Are you mixing the same 32 once mixer with the 25 Million Nematodes??? Which of the three output sprayer settings on the front of the sprayer are you using???
@@naturesgoodguys3353 isn't there chlorine in city water? I've read it harms them. I just got the 50 million in the mail today from you'z good people with the sprayer I wanna do this right. P.S that was one SUPER fast response time. Not my first time ordering from you.
@@jamespowell4950 high concentration of chlorine does affect them. If you want to be extra careful you can use filtered tap water or bottled water/ gallon water 🐞
I don't think that the 1.5 TSP setting is correct for the 50 Million nematode pack. The math for calculating the proper amount for the 50 million pack appears to be 1.5 TBSP (1.5 Tablespoons). e.g. 8 OZ = 16 TBSP, 50/5 = 10 to 1 ratio. 16 TBSP / 10 = 1.6 TBSP 1.5 OZ = 3 TBSP, 50/25 = 2 to 1 ratio. 3 TBSP / 2 = 1.5 TBSP.
@@denathompson5382 if it's 1.5oz for 25 mil, then it should be half of 1.5oz for 50 million. That is .75oz or 1.5 tablespoon. What makes you say 1.5 teaspoon is correct?
@@geeyoupee Hi because it's the setting on the ortho hose end sprayer dial.. per their website. It has to be set at the one and a half teaspoons in order for the water from the hose to mix with the nematodes to do the half an acre... So that setting adjusts to how much product is coming out with the hose water.. I just did my half acre.. if the setting had been higher it would have sprayed out more nematodes and I would not have been able to do all of my half acre
Instructions with packaging says stir well and leave solution to soak for 20-30 seconds..................Video says stir and let set 10-15 MINUTES then stir again! What??? Did I just waste my time and money?
I noticed that too, I went with the 20-30 seconds, but I don't think it's crucial. I mean, they're sitting in the spray canister for a half hour or however long you're spraying. Also they say they stay food for several hours.
Best video I have seen so far. Thank you.
You guys should do more on all your products.
I’ll review the lacewing larvae. Spoiler: it’s just rice hulls and zero lacewings
@@NoNo-bd2db just bought the 5k green lacewing pack
@@twentyfive2life686 can you let me know how it turns out? I’m going to upload the video of my experience probably tomorrow.

Thanks for this video both feeders state they are not suitable for Nematodes but you clearly have used them so I gather they work all fine.
She took the filter out.

I just saw the note on the package that says, "Store refrigerated up to 4 weeks". 😳 I've had mine in the refrigerator for 2 months; are they still ok?
thanks! that was really helpful
If you have 15m nematodes, I emailed to ask which setting; they said use the 10m setting (4 oz).

I have the same exact question.
Throw couple handfuls of todes in big sprayer and overkill it. But u would need to do math if u apply to a huge farm because of money
I have the 30 million Hb/Sc/Sf mix...what hose end setting would you put it on?

Hello, you can find detailed instructions on the packaging or on our website!
is it okay to use city water from the hose for this, it being treated water and all?
Yes! Regular City water is okay

The 1.5 tsp is correct if you're using the ortho hose end sprayer.
