Full details

While highly effective, users should note that as a live biological product, it requires immediate use upon delivery and needs consistently moist soil to function correctly.

FAQs
Are these nematodes safe for my dog?
Yes, they are completely safe for pets, children, and wildlife.
Can I use these in the winter?
No, the soil temperature must be above 5°C for the nematodes to be active.
Do I need to mix them with anything?
Only mix with water. No other additives are required or recommended.
How long do they last once I receive them?
They have a shelf life of approximately two weeks; they should be applied as soon as possible.
Will they kill all the ants instantly?
No, they work by making the environment hostile, encouraging the ants to relocate their nests elsewhere.
Can I store the pack in the freezer?

Troubleshooting
Nematodes are not reducing ant activity after one week.
Nematodes are biological and take time to colonize. Ensure the soil has remained consistently damp, as dry soil renders them ineffective.
Sprayer keeps clogging during application.
Ensure all fine mesh filters have been removed from your sprayer head, as these can trap the nematodes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure your soil temperature is above 5°C before application. The product is best applied to damp soil to facilitate movement. If using a sprayer, remove all fine filters to prevent clogging as the nematodes are microscopic organisms that can be damaged by pressure or filtration.
Compatibility: This product is safe to use alongside most organic lawn fertilizers. Avoid using chemical soil pesticides simultaneously, as these may kill the beneficial nematodes.
Care: Because this is a live organism, store in the refrigerator upon arrival if you cannot apply it immediately. Do not expose the packaging to direct sunlight or temperatures exceeding 25°C.
