The Microscopic, Caped Superheros of Lawn and Garden

It was a dark and moist evening when out of the small tunnel sprung the caped nematode to utterly destroy the plans of the unknowing garden pest with aspirations of killing my tomatoes one by one!  Sure makes a good story but what is even better is that these little critters exist to overpower all those garden pests to rid my lawn and garden of those bad buggies.

A friend of mine a few months ago told me of a natural way to combat fleas and ticks from bothering their dogs.  She mentioned nematodes and how easy it was to spread them so I did some research.  What the protect against is astounding.  They can combat Weevils; Beetle grubs; Japanese beetle; Masked chaffers; May/June beetles; Black vine weevil; various white grubs; Banana weevil; Bill bug; Colorado Potato beetle; Cucumber beetle; Sweetpotato weevil; Asparagus beetle; Carrot weevil; Banana moth; Citrus root weevil group; Sugarcane stalk borer; Various tree and vine borers; Bagworms; Flea beetle; Fleas and over 200 other species.  They are microscopic, ground-dwelling worms that like to munch on the eggs and larva so it kills pests before they even become pests.


I bought mine off of Amazon and they shipped two-day mail from CA.  They come on a sponge and all you do is squeeze the contents out into warm water and then spray them on the yard using a normal sprayer that hasn't been used with chemicals.  Apply once per year in the spring and you are good to go.  I even read somewhere if you live in a warmer climate you spray once and they will live happily and multiple year after year.

Thank you caped crusaders!
