BioLogic Scanmask Beneficial Nematodes, Steinernema feltiae Sf Nematodes for Natural Insect Pest Control

In a nutshell, According to the instructions, I promptly refrigerated the nematodes when they arrived on ice. My intention was to use them after 12 hours, but before I did so, I put them under the microscope and found that most of them were There is a lot of disappointment in my heart. Here's an update I was given directions to properly view the items so I could better view them, even though the seller did not believe they were dead. My company even offered to provide me with a smartphone microscope to use instead of one I already own. This seller was very responsive to my questions and concerns. I will update you about the viability of the nematodes after we receive them on Friday.

Overthinking things is always my tendency whenever it is hard to understand something. The instructions on the package are for gardening, so I had to convert them so that they applied to my house plants. I had to follow up with several emails back and forth with the company, which are by the way, really great. I had to do the following I was amazed at how this packet of 5 billion was able to take care of 35 of my house plants You need to repeat this twice. I divided the packet in half and estimated it by dumping it onto a clean paper plate. With the remaining powder, I placed it back in the packet and put half of it in a 5 gallon pail filled with 2 gallons of water. My little watering can was filled from the mix in the bucket and I A tiny amount of water was left in the bucket, so I put it into a water jug that I could put in my The coupons had to be redeemed within 24 hours. After I hit the most needy plants with left over water, I repeated the process the next day. [I believe that a person could also make a more diluted solution (e. g. It is better to mix 11. 2 packets of fertilizer with 3 gallons of water than 2) so you don't have to be so meticulous and conservative with your planting out. This would also alleviate the need for water to be added with plain water the next day, as it is recommended by many. The thought I had was just my own. If you don't have a microscope, you won't see any signs of life! After receiving them, place them in the refrigerator until they get cold. Keep the package closed and dry. Put an extra zip lock over it while they are Adding cold water will activate the enzymes. It is advisable to apply at night if you can do so, but unless it is midday and there is enough sun to kill the nematodes before they get a hold of the soil, I do not think it's that important for inside plants. You should use it when the sun sets. Use the mixed solution up within 24 hours, put the container in the fridge, and you should not see anything changing. After you notice that fewer and sooner or later none of the gnats are around, this is the time when they work. My order will be reordered once the other items that I missed have been placed. My problem may be solved for good since this will fix it. Since I used the nematode treatment, I've been using mosquito bits and they seem to be working, but some gnats are starting to return. In addition to both, you may need a few cycles as well- The problem can only be cured with two, for sure. The one I had was awful. It didn't work, so I tried all the home remedies. I just wanted to get rid of the problem once and for all so I would not have to trouble myself with it in the future. Make sure you get them ASAP as soon as you notice a gnat again! It is advisable to do preventative maintenance at least once per year, even if you do not see any gnats.

When you mix, you will see the DE floating around and remaining clumpy. There's no other way to contend with it but by getting rid of the nematodes Agents that prevent coagulation. There is no need to worry about it. Because of the vague instructions and the fact that I was considering everything too much, I researched a lot. DE, as well as plenty of mosquito bits, will not hurt the nematodes, however fertilizer and a decent amount of water will. Their health is said to be at risk from pesticides. Consequently, you want to make sure you plan things ahead. A week before I applied my nematode treatment, I used insect frass and neem oil as fertilizers, and I did not have to worry about that harming my nematode.

Fleas had had a horrible year last year because of the severe drought we suffered. There are three types of these strongest, fastest, and most awful critters ever that I have seen inflicting pain upon my small dogs (I have two In our yard there are brushes and weeds, as well as things, kept trimmed and cleaned up. There was no point in worrying, we were fully in control An all-out flea apocalypse has ensued. For the past three years, I have used this product every spring. Fleas aren't in the house. The girls were at the park so I found two, both of which were from having them there. There is a reason for this! My girls, as well as the other local wildlife, are not at risk, and it also takes care of a variety of other nasty yard invaders. Bonuses will also be given. The animals in these pictures are live. Frost kills them (or they can't be used), so they can't be used until the threat of frost has passed. Additionally, they cannot be left out in the hot sun all summer long. Therefore, with Michigan being in the middle of the country, the most tricky part is properly planning your use of these. No matter what I do, they never disappoint, which is why my girls and I refuse to go without them.

However, last year, this company responded extremely well when I thought the nematodes had died. In the wake of the second heavy rain After a heavy duty application, using more than what was needed, fleas were all The application took two to be approved. The same thing happened to me this year I had to apply twice again - but it wasn't enough. In recent years, there has been an increase in fleas. Using the type I used when I had over an acre of land, and one application lasted six years, that is what I will use now. In contrast to this brand, the other brand (not available on Amazon) kills both larvae and pupae, not just larvae. Customer service is actually quite good at this company, which makes this unfortunate.

A batch of contaminated soil mix resulted in fungus gnats infesting most of the indoor plants (which is a lesson in and of I applied these Nematodes to our plants, first mixing them with water and then watering them all. It worked for a few weeks before I decided to delete it. I got rid of almost all of the gnats with it and it worked great. With the use of yellow stickies, I'm monitoring the gnats. Considering I have found it extremely difficult to get rid of all the gnats, I will likely apply a second treatment before winter weather sets in. It is only difficult to use BioLogic's Scanmask on indoor plants when you time your order with the moment when you will want to water them. If you overwater your plants, then they may rot, and you do not want to keep the Nematodes in the cold for too long. *Edit *br > My apologies for failing to mention how amazing their customer service is. When I inquired about the program and how to use it, it was promptly answered. I've just made an edit to my first sentence This is the new title I came up with. I expect this to work better than it has. In the last few months, I have not seen a single gnat. It turned out to be an extremely successful project.
