Beneficial Nematodes

Beneficial nematodes are a natural, non-toxic solution for controlling soil-dwelling pests in gardens, greenhouses, lawns, turf, compost systems, and agricultural settings. These microscopic organisms actively seek out insect larvae and eliminate pests such as fungus gnats, grubs, weevils, caterpillars, and fleas within 24–48 hours. We offer four proven species—Steinernema feltiae (Sf), Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (Hb), Steinernema kraussei (Sk), and Steinernema carpocapsae (Sc)—each selected for specific pests, temperatures, and growing conditions. Safe for people, pets, plants, pollinators, and beneficial insects, nematodes are an effective biological control tool for long-term, sustainable pest management.
