When most people hear the word nematode they think bad. Nematodes are like insects. There are beneficial and harmful ones. Beneficial nematodes are tiny living organisms that live in the soil and move through the soil on moisture. They will attack by boring a hole in harmful organisms like flea larvae, grub worms, chinch bugs, wire worms, ants etc. anything that lives in the soil, reproducing by laying eggs in the organism that they have attacked. They do not prey on earthworms. Nematodes come in a dried form which I have never had any luck with and do not recommend at all and on a blue sponge that has at least a million nemotodes on it. This is enough for most gardens and landscapes. You disperse them by soaking the sponge in a bucket of water until the nematodes have left the sponge and are swimming around. Put them in a hose end sprayer after first removing the filter. Usually you only have to apply once a year. They do an amazing job
