Description Life Cycle Use in Biological Control Application Rates Instructions for Use Lawn and Garden Blend Nematodes is an organic pest control that is lethal to pests yet safe for plants, people and pets. It contains the beneficial nematodes Steinernema carpocapsae and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora. S. carpocapsae is relatively sedentary and tends to remain near the soil surface to 'ambush' its host. They work best in soil temperatures over 70F. These nematodes target Armyworm, Billbug, Cutworm, Borers, Cinch Bug, Codling Moth, Corn Rootworm, Leaf Miners, Shore Flies, Fleas, Crane Flies, Grubs Western Flower Thrips, and Weevils.  A complete life cycle takes 12 to 15 days at room temperature. The beneficial nematodes enter the insect pest through body openings. Once inside they reproduce and release a symbiotic bacterium which is toxic to the host. The pests are killed within a few days and a second generation of infective juvenile nematodes exit the host and begin the cycle agai
