What are nematodes?

Nematodes are tiny worms that feed on other insects, such as fly larvae, slugs or caterpillars.

How to use nematodes to control pests?

To use nematodes, simply dissolve them in water and spray them on the areas to be treated. The worms will then penetrate the target insects and devour them from the inside, causing them to die in just a few days.

What types of pests can be controlled with nematodes?

Nematodes are effective against different types of pests such as:

• mosquito larvae

• Blank worms (especially those of the cockchafer)
• Thrips
• aphids
• Weevils (especially the red palm weevil)
• The ants

How to choose the right nematode species to control a specific pest?

Each species of nematode is adapted to a specific type of pest. It is therefore important to choose the right species depending on the type of pest you want to control.
