Live Beneficial Nematodes Hb+Sc+Sf - Kills Over 200 Different Species of Soil Dwelling and Wood Boring Insects. (5 Million_Nematodes)

Works beautifully! Used on all my indoor plants and within 3 days the fungus gnats are gone! Will keep soul moist and probably repeat later summer if needed. The best solution to getting rid of this pesky bugs!

Let me start out by saying that within two weeks of applying 1/2 of the nematodes to my 2 cubic foot indoor container, my fungus gnat infestation had *completely* disappeared and I was extremely surprised. Unexpectedly, up to 3 days before they fungus gnats disappeared I still had a tent full of them and wasn't sure the nematodes were working. The only downside is that because of the way the manufacturer described the equipment requirements for spreading the nematodes, I remained pretty stressed the entire time and at the end there was no need for it.First off, the fugus gnat infestation was really bad, there were hundreds of them flying around the 3x3x7 grow tent constantly. I could watch them running up and down the trunk of the plants from the soil - it was creepy and I was nervous that they'd spread to all of my other plants and grow tent. A couple of friends told me immediately to apply nematodes and the problem would resolve.The instructions for applying the nematodes say that they require at least a .8mm opening for them to pass through. I'm not sure if anyone has ever tried to measure a hole that small, but let me tell you it isn't easy. In my opinion their instructions could be more clear for us gardeners and that's why I deducted a star.I used my standard off-brand cheap 1gallon garden sprayer to apply the nematodes. I adjusted it so that it was almost completely a stream to make sure the hole was big enough to allow the nematodes to pass.My advice?? YES, nematodes are amazing, they work fast, they're a beneficial part of an organic garden and I would suggest everyone use them every time they fill a container. YES, you can use a standard garden sprayer set to stream to apply them.

Well I have tried this twice and I still have grubs in my yard. It is tricky to use, because you need a wet yard, and warm temps. Rainy spring up here in the UP of MI is very chilly, and warm summer months are very dry. So trying to get the timing right has been very difficult. I have to wonder also about using the hose water to spread the solution. I can set up the solution with temperate water, but the water coming out of the hose (well water) is very cold in the spring and also chilly in summer. I'm not blaming the company that I got these from. It was worth a try, but I won't use this again.

Where I live is mostly sandy with a bit of normal soil mixed in. We would get sand fleas like crazy in the spring and summer months, to the point of having to spray bug spray daily, vacuum daily, and treat our cats with fleas and tick repellent monthly--- it was extremely expensive! I discoved these nematodes first by doing a Google search for natural predators for fleas, then discovering that Amazon sells them. I bought my first group/box a couple of years ago before the warm weather set in, and sprayed the entire yard down with the nematodes. No fleas at all! I have been using them ever since, and still have not seen a single flea. I buy them in early April, and then apply them around mid-April. And that is it! No fleas for the rest of the year! Definitely worth the price and shipping considering what I was paying for the flea repellent, bug sprays, etc before. I would give them 100 stars if I could. This spring, I am going to look into finding ones that take care of mosquitos if possible.

I have a garden in my basement. I originally started out in hydroponics and decided to see how I could do with a "soil like medium" in a grow bag. A number of months after I started this project I noticed some small fly's (I think fruit fly's). Over the weeks they got to be significant and I was looking for ways to get rid of them. I hung the sticky fly catching strips and tried other methods (no pesticides) and nothing was working very well. When I saw the NaturesGoodGuys beneficial nematodes Hb+Sc+Sf 5 million Nematodes I decided to give them a try.I have never used nematodes before so this is what I did and I don't guarantee what I did is correct. You get the small packet of nematodes packed along with a bag of melted water (not sure but it is a liquid). That was put there to help keep it cool. The instructions say it is normal for it to be melted when you get it. But upon receipt I put it into the refrigerator (their instructions). I think the next day I filled a 2 L watering can about 4/5 full of water and put in the contents of the packet of nematodes. It just looks like brown powder. I then used my watering can and applied some to the top of the dirt in each growing bag. I was not sure how much to use so I started being conservative and when I had added it to all the growing bags I went back and tried to give more equally to all the bags. The instructions say to keep the "dirt" moist but I didn't change my watering habits from the schedule I was following before adding the nematodes.I have two pictures attached to this review. The first is labeled "Before" which is a fly catching strip that had been hanging for about 2 weeks BEFORE I used the nematodes. The second picture is labeled "After" and this picture was taken exactly 16 days AFTER I applied the nematodes. I think you can see there are still some fly's but there are way fewer then there were before. This is noticeable by just standing around the plants. I don't think I noticed much of a difference for about a week and then it seemed like the number of fly's was going down.It is unfortunate but bugs get into your home no matter how hard you try. I wanted to do something to get rid of them without using any chemicals. So far I call this experiment successful. If you have a bug issue (different solutions for different bugs) then you should consider NaturesGoodGuys beneficial nematodes Hb+Sc+Sf. It will be interesting to see if the fly population will continue to go down of the coming weeks. If I have something relevant to add I will update this review in the future.

Wasted my time and money.I have a brand that I've always bought my neomites from. I tried this brand instead. Grubs are having a blast again . Trash pandas digging every night with buffet results. I should have never switched from Arbico
