Nematodes have done wonders for the fungus gnats and shoreflies in my garden. I actually ended up getting a gnat infestation on my indoor plants and watering with nematodes got rid of them within a couple of days. No gnats since! Well worth the $$$

I’ve been researching nematodes. From what I’ve seen, you want wet soil during application and after. The nematodes only are viable for two weeks once you get them so timing is pretty crucial, especially if you have a larger area to spray. I’ve also seen recommendations to apply them at dusk. One user said the nematodes will feed and spread out until they no longer have a food source or the ground gets too dried out. I’m planning to apply nematodes this fall here in middle Georgia and also in the early spring to interrupt the life cycles and catch more things hopefully. We have a huge gnat and ant (Argentine ants, not fire ants) problem here where I live in addition to the usual garden suspects so I’m hoping this helps manage that.

This is really helpful to know. Here in CA we have a bone dry climate most of the year, and we also have tons of small ants and tons of termites. These could be amazing but I will definitely have to consider how/where/when we would be using them and if we could keep the soil fairly moist for their lifespan.

Beneficial nematodes are the greatest discovery I have ever made. Garden grubs (or curl grubs as I know them) almost made me quit gardening altogether. The thought of them being in there and me not really knowing was too terrifying. But now I legit relish when I find grub carcasses from nematodes. Also neem oil can really help too. I tend to do neem oil during the colder months and then bring in my nematodes for Spring/Summer to keep on top of them.

I put beneficial nematodes around my yard once a year at least. Mostly to expand my control on Japanese beetle grubs. AND I use this company. Since Japanese beetles can fly in and lay eggs, I do add it every year. I have seen number reduction of Japanese beetle specifically from year to year. And I've seen when I don't do it after a few summers - the beetle numbers increase.

Good point about aiming the nematodes at the base of plants! I just released some today in April! It's recommended to do a couple of applications 1-2 weeks apart and make sure to remove any filter or screen in the hose end spray if you're using one. Also apply early am, dusk, or on an overcast day. UV light kills them.

I applied in the cool fall weather in November. Most of the beetles in my garden were gone and I was at the height of grubs in my soil. Nematodes need a host in order to survive to move on to the next grub. More grubs in the soil, the longer most of the nematodes last in the soil reducing the population. Milky spores also benefitted my garden over the last few years.

I've heard of beneficial nematodes but forgot about them, thank you for the reminder! I didn't know they also kill fingus gnat larva. I've been occasionally using dissolved mosquito dunks in my pots to combat indoor fungus gnats on vegetable plants I take inside before winter. The dunks don't seem to help much and each year the gnats have overrun things and contributed to me giving up on growing veggies indoors. I use the sticky yellow paper stakes to catch adults but that doesn't nip them at the source. Hopefully some nematodes will be a better solution!
