Sales are great, but quite often they occur after the point in time you actually need them. A Christmas sale after Christmas is a good example. The best sales are those which occur exactly when you need the product — and that’s what we’re doing. A lot of people want and need our sponge-carried parasitic nematodes at this time of year, so we decided to lessen the general pain of the economy and offer them for a discounted price for a limited time. Details to follow.

Newbie needs help and advice; I am interested in purchasing nematodes to control grub and beetle larvae but do not want to harm the healthy earthworm populations in my yard. Will the nematodes harm my healthy for my garden insects? Thank you!

Hi Sheila. That’s a good concern. Fortunately the nematodes will leave your earthworms alone so you won’t impact your worm population by using our nematodes!
