• Nematodes actively hunt for insect larvae, entering through natural body openings. Once inside the larvae, the nematode excretes bacteria from its digestive tract before it starts to feed and multiply. Within a few days the pest will change color and die. The nematodes multiply and develop within the dying insect, before leaving the old host to hunt for more pests. As the number of pests decrease, so will the nematode population. For this reason seasonal releases are recommended.
• Storage Storage temperature 36-45˚F. DO NOT FREEZE Store unactivated nematodes for up to 30 days. Once activated nematodes must be released within 6 hours. Store nematodes in the dark. Environmental Conditions Nematodes are susceptible to ultraviolet light (UV). Nematodes are susceptible to various chemical pesticides. Use caution when treating other diseases and pests. For optimal results, the ground surface should be moist.

5.0 out of 5 stars It actually worked Honestly could not believe this worked for our summer flea problem. We had tried everything and I purchased this out of desperation. I purchased a small pump sprayer at Lowes ($5). We distributed them and watered the yard daily for 5 days. After about a week and a half we saw a dramatic improvement in our flea problem. If you're at the end of your rope, give this a try.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for fleas! and spittlebugs? I've been getting these Sc and the Hb Nematodes for years. We live on the west coast and fleas are a major problem. The first time we sprayed these 3 or 4 years ago we noticed that our indoor/outdoor cat had way fewer fleas. We also have had fewer flies which is great because we live out in the country surrounded by livestock of many kinds.

Not sure if it's the Sc or the Hb but this year when I sprayed them I had a spittlebug problem. I was using the nematodes for other soil based pests in the garden but the spittlebugs the next day were no longer solid green but had the telltale nematode infection sign of turning yellow and no longer moving. I garden organically so knowing the nematodes attack spittlebugs is really great. My guess is it will only work if sprayed on the spittlebugs because they don't have a soil phase.

I always buy these each year but now I might get another batch just for spittlebugs now and then during spring.
