Nematodes are naturally occurring in soils all over the world. They can be found in almost every type of soil, from gardens and farmland to forests and grasslands. There are thousands of different types of nematodes, some of which are harmless, while others can be harmful to plants, animals or humans.
The nematodes we use for biological control , such as the Steinernema and Heterorhabditis species, are grown in laboratories and are specifically selected to control pests such as insect larvae. These pest control nematodes are grown in controlled conditions to ensure their effectiveness.
Nematodes are often sold in dry powder or granular form for ease of handling and storage. They can then be activated with water and spread over the soil to control the pests.
This is how our customers receive the nematodes
In short, nematodes occur naturally in the soil, but the species used for biological control are specially bred to be effective against pests.
