As the pests move around and towards your plants, they will pick up nematodes, which will enter through openings in the pests. Within days the pests will stop feeding, and most die within a week. This usually takes place beneath the surface, so no trace is left in your vegetable beds. The nematodes will continue to feed and breed, expanding their population, range and effectiveness until food becomes scarce.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow do I use them?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNemasys nematodes are supplied as a dry powder which can be mixed with water in a watering can and then applied to the area you want to protect. We advise applying them after the last frost but early in the growing season to prevent pests from pressuring young plants. Once applied, try to make sure that the soil doesn't completely dry out to ensure that the nematode population remains healthy and strong.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIs it safe?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNematodes are completely natural and prevalent in most gardens throughout the UK.
