You just apply to moist soil when the soil temperature is above 5ºC (41ºF) and ensure the soil does not dry out for at least two weeks after applying nematodes. Nematodes are capable of surviving the odd frost; so don't worry if the temperature falls after you have applied the nematodes.

Please note Nematodes are live material and cannot be returned. They will usually have an expiry date of around 2 weeks. The effectiveness can sometimes vary due to external factors.

Carrot Root Fly
Water into the soil shortly after carrot seeds germinate and the larvae will be quickly located by the nematodes. The Key application time is from late April/early May and from July when the soil temperature is above 12oC and when the threat of carrot fly is at its peak.


Cabbage Root Fly, Cutworm and Onion Fly 
Apply April to July. Apply after planting and repeat fortnightly throughout the growing season when pests are present. Apply as a drench around the roots of the plants or where the pest is present. Fortnightly application maintains control and catches subsequent generations.


Leatherjackets
Apply when pest is present in the vegetable patch and repeat application to control the pest.


Sciarid
The Sciarid is primarily a greenhouse pest. Apply when pest is present and repeat as necessary to control subsequent hatchings. Apply to soil in pots, growing bags and open soil.


Caterpillars and Gooseberry Sawfly
Apply as soon as the caterpillars are first seen applying to all leaf surfaces where the pest is present. Make sure to spray pests with a solution as caterpillars not directly sprayed will not be controlled. Repeat as necessary. Great for box moth treatment as well.


Thrips Apply as soon as the thrips are first seen applying to all leaf surfaces where the pest is present. Make sure to spray pests with a solution as thrips not directly sprayed will not be controlled. Repeat as necessary.


Codling Moth
Apply during September and October to the trunk of the tree/main branches and to an area of soil equal to the tree cover above. Make 3 applications at weekly intervals in total to make sure that all hatchings are caught.
