beneficial nematodes

[dsmith]

I read that these are great for flea control and other yard pests. Has anyone every tried these?

[daveedka]

I've never tried them, or known anyone who did, but Have heard good things. I can tell you the natural approach almost always works better than chemicals in my experience.

Have never heard of them. What are they?

[bobberguy]

Namatodes are not small frogs like toads. They are small worms that are abundent in most soils! Take a look at this link!

local nursery has them. Says they are great. But $40 for only 500 feet worth. They don't reproduce, so they have to be replaced every year. Still thinking about it as the guy at the nursery says they are well worth it.

I never knew you could buy them like that!
