What Are Nematodes?

Nematodes are microscopic worms that live naturally in the soil. These tiny organisms are known for their role as beneficial parasites, targeting and killing specific pests, especially lawn grubs.

What Are Nematodes?
Nematodes are microscopic worms, invisible to the naked eye, that play a critical role in maintaining soil health. They exist naturally in the soil and are a natural method for controlling insect pests without harming the environment.

How Nematodes Work:
Nematodes are effective parasites that target lawn grubs, which are the larvae of pests such as June bugs, Japanese beetles, European chafers, and craneflies. When nematodes come into contact with these grubs, they enter their bodies and release bacteria, killing them.

The Benefits of Using Nematodes:
Eco-friendly: Nematodes provide an environmentally safe alternative to chemical pesticides.
Safe for All: Unlike many chemical treatments, nematodes are 100% safe for people, pets, plants, and earthworms.
Natural Pest Control: They target and kill over 250 different insect pests, keeping your lawn healthy without damaging the ecosystem.

Why Use Nematodes for Grub Control?
Grubs are the larval stages of pests that can cause severe damage to your lawn. Nematodes provide a natural, non-toxic way to control these pests, leading to a healthier, more vibrant lawn.
