Nematodes are microscopic roundworms. There are different types available that can target various pests, including root weevil beetles and European chafer beetle larvae. Notched leaves on your broadleaf evergreens and torn-up lawns are clear signs that you're dealing with pests. Nematodes can help!

Using biological controls, specifically nematodes, involves harnessing natural predators to manage pest populations in your garden. These beneficial nematodes actively seek out their prey, infecting and killing them with the bacteria they carry. Once applied to the soil, nematodes penetrate pests' bodies, releasing bacteria that cause septicemia, ultimately leading to the pest's demise.

Unlike chemical pesticides, biological controls with nematodes are environmentally friendly, targeting specific pests while preserving beneficial organisms. This sustainable approach reduces reliance on synthetic chemicals, promoting healthier ecosystems and safer food production.
