    Hello Beck –

    Beneficial nematodes actively hunt, penetrate and destroy over 230 different pests including fleas, fungus gnats, black vine weevils and white grubs. Naturally occurring, they are not harmful to people, pets, plants or earthworms and will continue working for 18 months. I’ve included a partial list of insects controlled below. If you need advice on a particular insect pest please let me know.
