How are your soil fly nematodes delivered to you?

By unrefrigerated follow-up letter directly to the mailbox.

Nematodes can survive more than 8 days at room temperature without concern. Storage in the fridge is just to be able to keep them longer by slowing down their development.


The nematodes must be kept cool after reception in order to slow down their metabolism ("hibernation") in order to be able to store them until the best-before date.
At room temperature, nematodes do not die, but continue their development. Without food (mushroom fly larvae), they would eventually die naturally after about ten days.

 

Date of treatment with soil fly nematodes

Treatment with nematodes can be done all year round preventively or curatively as soon as the pests appear when the temperature reaches 10 to 12°C.

Dosage

A whole sachet of 5 million nematodes for 20 to 25 pots.

mode of action

Nematodes are naturally present in the soil in small quantities, they are microscopic worms invisible to the naked eye, respectful of useful insects, crops and vertebrates (human beings and domestic animals).

How do they proceed?

- Nematodes move through the soil in search of pest larvae to parasitize them. When they find them, they enter their body through natural channels and multiply inside, thus leading to their death within a few days.
