NaturesGoodGuys Beneficial Nematodes Triple Blend Pack HB+SC+SF - General Biological Pest Control (10 Million)

I have used Nematodes before for possible termites. This time it's to kill fleas, grubs and other garden pests. The application is easy and these are safe to use.

Last ones ordered over a year ago. Still have lady bugs. So COOL! Haven't seen an aphid or spider mite in eightish months.

I ordered the 50mil triple blend, they were alive, active, and ready to go! I used about 1/2 about a day after receiving them. I stored the rest in the fridge for about another week before reapplying. I checked them both times with a little pocket miroscope and both times they were alive and active. A few days before I got this order I had purchased a similar triple blend (different brand) that only had 5 million reported, that I found at a local Nursery for $25. A significantly higher cost comparatively, but when I checked the nursery bought nematodes, they were not moving around and did not appear to be alive. I'm not 100% sure that they were all dead because they weren't stick straight but they definitely weren't moving. When I called to tell them they were not alive, the people at the nursery said they weren't sure if they were actually supposed to move around or not. After getting this product from Nature's good guys, I'm pretty sure they were supposed to be moving around, because these guys were all over the place as soon as they touched water! I won't buy from a nursery again because there's no guarantee how long it's been sitting on the shelf. At least ordering Direct, I think there's a much higher chance that the nematodes will be alive and kicking. I have no idea if the nematodes will work their magic. I'm hoping it will be able to infect and kill some hibernating roaches, termites, and maybe some grubs and stink bugs. I live in Arizona and in the summer when these bugs are active it's way too hot and dry for nematodes, so I'm doing it now when it's cool and wet. -Pro tip: don't waste your time wetting the ground before and after if there's any rain in the forecast, just spray them out on a rainy day! Make sure to check your conditions before ordering! They need to have a damp/moist environment, ideally between 70° and 50°. Don't bother if it's above 90° out, I also wouldn't bother if it's dry and hot unless you really want to be out there wetting the ground every hour. And don't release them in the middle of the day when it's sunny, because they're sensitive to the sunlight.

Do these things REALLY work? That is the big question on everyone's mind. Between the worries of "are they still alive" & "did i kill them" to "how do i know if it worked" & "when will i know if it worked", these aren't really things that the home user can see for themselves. It's not like a pesticide where you see the dead bodies of the things that you are killing. These little guys not only work below the dirt, but they work from within what you want to die. So it's a double unseen force. Now in my case, i had a few carpenter ant colonies, hundreds of thousands of japanese beetles, & other little pests that were causing issues. After the first year's application, under i must say not the greatest of conditions, the ant colonies were dead, & the beetles were diminished. Which was a promising first go. The following year's conditions were even worse than the first, from issues with application to an extremely dry season. So the next year's results were a little less than stellar, but the beetles were still reduced. We're hoping that this year we get better results.

I've tried EVERY organic and natural treatment possible to knock out a persistent and incredibly heavy fungus gnat infestation in my houseplants - hydrogen peroxide, neem oil, cinnamon, mosquito bits, even another brand of nematodes from Amazon. Nothing had worked. NaturesGoodGuys was the only product that finally did what it claimed. Shipping was impressively fast and handled with care...FedEx Priority Overnight from Oregon to NYC, insulated between two gel ice packs. Even though my package was delivered at room temperature, the nematodes inside were still alive and active. I unpacked them right away and placed the sealed organism packets in the fridge (inside their original bubble sleeve to reduce light exposure) as recommended. Following the clear instructions, I mixed and watered all my indoor plants. The results: gnat numbers visibly dropped about 30% per week, and by the fourth week—none at all. I haven’t seen a single gnat in the last week, and my plants are healthy and happy. No more tiny bugs buzzing my screen, face, and lights. You can probably find cheaper nematode products, but these are the real deal. They arrive alive, shipped fast, and with clear instructions. I’m so happy with the result that I’m putting NaturesGoodGuys on my subscribe and save list for future auto-orders. Can’t recommend highly enough if you want a true biological pest control solution that works.
