Beneficial Nematodes
Fight unwanted pests naturally with ARBICO's Beneficial Nematodes -- microscopic, non-segmented worms that occur naturally in soil throughout the world.
Once released, the nematodes seek out their host, enter through body openings, emit a toxin and death occurs within 48 hours. Beneficial Nematodes are shipped in an easily dissolved clay
formulation that you mix with water. The solution can be applied directly using a watering can, hose end, backpack, or pump sprayer or through irrigation or misting systems. Release early
in the morning or predusk when temperatures are cooler and the sun is not so bright. U.S. orders only.
Beneficial Nematode Facts:
- Nematodes will eliminate all types of pests that have a subterranean soil stage.
- Nematodes are exempt from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations because they are not harmful to humans or animals.
How Do Nematodes Work?
- Nematodes seek and enter hosts in the soil.
- Nematodes release bacteria which paralyze and kill the host.
- Nematodes reproduce and feed upon the host while undergoing several life cycles.
- Second stage juveniles develop waxy cuticles and leave the cadaver in search of a new host.
