We first used beneficial nematodes about 17 years ago in our Virginia lawn. The mole situation greatly reduced and we forgot to maintain it until last year! Super mole infestation.......... so we ordered these from Nature's Good Guys & they arrived super fast and perfectly refrigerated with a cold pack. We ordered 50 million and also purchased a new 2 gallon sprayer just to be sure there was nothing in it that could harm the living nematodes. Easy to apply - we watered before and after and applied at dusk. Cautiously optimistic about the results but will post in a few months if effective. - - (hopefully because last month we watched as a hosta began wiggling in our yard and then the root disappeared from below as it was devoured by a vole!) The nematodes kill the grubs that the moles need to thrive.

I waited to give this review. We had ants, termites and fleas we needed to deal with. We got the Hb and the Sc verities. The Hb is listed as good for termite queens, ants, and adult fleas as well as many others. Hb stands for Heterorhabditis bacteriophora.I applied as soon as we received the nematodes and used them in a bit more concentrated then then was directed. The termites we had in an old tree and one wall haven't been seen since. The cat didn't have any fleas to speak of for ages despite this being a major flea area.The ants have been our major pest. Since we moved here we had been feeding them borax and sugar or Aspartame. Despite continually poisoning them they just kept coming. Found out we have Argentine Ants that have multiple queens making it next to impossible to wipe them out. Long story short the ants disappeared for months. Not a single ant for months. We couldn't believe it hardly. Talked to the neighbors who all have ants and have been poisoning and or trapping them with no end of the battle in sight. They all wanted to know about the beneficial nematodes. At least two neighbors are planning on getting some after hearing about us not having them for almost a full year.We applied it in the middle of May and only now next January are we finally seeing ants again. We will be buying more in a month or two as the weather gets a bit warmer. Worked incredibly well.UPDATE 2018: Still loving these things. I have been getting more every 1 to 1 1/2 years and have always had them arrive alive and healthy judging by how quickly the bugs disappear. I really recommend these if your having issues with the pests these are listed as attacking.UPDATE 2020: Just ordered and applied another batch. Still love them. I still feel that these are amazing and can’t recommend them enough. Buy them...seriously just get these if you have ants or termites or other pests. If you have fleas get the sc variety as those are the best for fleas. Those also have been wonderful. Did I mention that I am really impressed with these nematodes?

First off I have no idea if these things worked - I applied them a few weeks ago but I haven't gone digging since then to see if my grubs are dying (these are masked chafer larvae I think).Application with a watering can was easy - basically you wring out the "sponge" containing the worms into a bucket, and then take the wrung-out sponge and wring it out again in a second bucket. Then you mix it all together and pour into a watering can. The temptation for me was to over-apply early on, and then I found I ran out by the time I got to the last bit of my lawn.The mistake I made was this: the directions online suggest repeat applications may be beneficial. So I got the 25 million pack, which is enough to treat my property 3-4 times over, hoping to avoid paying the shipping & handling multiple times. Well turns out when they arrive, the directions say to use it all ASAP, and if necessary store in refrigerator for up to a week or two. So conceivably I could have left a couple of sponges full of worms in my refrigerator for 2 weeks for a second application, but I didn't want to do that. For whatever reason I expected these were stable at room temperature (some nematodes can be revived after drying out and going dormant). So anyway I used the whole 25 million in one shot (and was still running out toward the end but that's my bad judgment with the watering can). If I want to do a repeat application I will buy a smaller size.
