Can you rototil it into the soil to get rid of the bad nematodes? and if so, how much do you apply per square foot?

Hello, We do not recommend that type of application and will not be effective against soil inhabiting insects. Thanks for asking! Andrew Hemmer

I would ask the seller about this. My guess is that they could negatively impact the nematodes.

This is not for use indoors, unless you are using it on your indoor plants that are in soil. Nematodes live in the soil and will not survive otherwise. If you are using it on your plants, a hand sprayer will suffice.

I really don't know a technical answer. I can tell you within two to three weeks the nematodes had done their job in my garden. I am not sure fertilizer would even adversly affect the nematodes.

won't be as good and mixing it into the soil......but I've done it......I used a wooden dowel to poke deep hole and sprinkled a few grains into each hole.

The product only treats the soil! You need to get the ones that fly another way. Try filling a bowl with sugar water and place near plant somewhere, they will fly in and drown. That's the tough part, and just to let you know I ended up changing my soil. The larvae can cling to roots. From what I read online, it's the soil you purchase that brings the knats to begin with. It's normally the organic potting soil. Good luck!

I saved it, I'm adding a little soil and some fertilizer to it and using it again. I originally used miracle grow soil(it was on sale) and potting soil with a little regular soil mixed in. We'll see how it goes this year. bought 2 more - now have 5 of them. Put them up on plywood on saw horses - so they are higher up - lots of rabbits.

I do not calculate when I use as it all depends on how deep and how well spread you mix it with ground soil. But I will use about 5 -10 pounds at least. Since the granule is fine, it will soak well and penetrate deep as time goes on. it works really wel here for my desert soil to grow tropical plants and veggies. Be generous is my principle.

Bayer claims that it is not effective on nematodes. I have had no personal experience with it for nematodes.

Apparently the nematodes bury themselves underground. I use both and think its working!

It's not an instant fix...give it some time to work its magic. Your gnat population should be diminished significantly, and the remaining few should die out pretty soon. I continued to see a stray gnat for a while, and I didn't even notice when that stopped because there were so few at that point. You followed the instructions to put the powder a third of the way in the pot, right? In addition to that, I also sprinkled some around the surface dirt and watered it in. That might help you, too.

Jay, After reviewing the label, it appears the recommended method of treating fireants is to both drench and broadcast spray. In other words, if you just broadcast spray, I don't think it will kill established nests so its important to do both. In fact that's been our experience afield. Basically just spraying will only push the existing mounds around unless you drench each one prior to the spraying. Now once you have control on the property, broadcast spraying will prevent new nests from forming but if this is your initial treatment, drenching first will be needed. So for fire ants, the label reads 1 teaspoon per 1-2 gallons of water used as a drench for every mound you need to treat. Next, for broadcast spraying, it says 1/2 to 1 oz per 1000 sq/ft of turf. That adds up to 22-44 oz per acre. Cheers, Jonathan Customer Care U-Spray Bugspray

Its a soil amendment so your using a small amount mixed into a large amount of dirt then slowly released. i've used way over recommended amount and just had super awesome root structure. so no i dont think so. i've used it on lots of things. everything is thriving. bought it for cannabis and used it on tons of things.

the label (and it may be under the label) is a good start.. however if there is a lot of rain forecast, I use about a cup per 24 in container, 2 on trees less than 4 ft tall and 3 on pines over 8 ft. Also spread it around the drip line on trees /shrubs not in containers.. those in containers spread around the inside of the rim, putting it around the trunks is a waste as the trees/shrubs don't feed there. If you're in a drier climate than the PNW, either water heavily or reduce the amount and consider a second application in 2 weeks. Also consider the soil.. sandy soils will absorb faster and lessen the chance of burning, clay soils or dense loam holds the concentrations longer so some caution in over applying is warranted.

will the turtle bury in it? if so you need to make sure its deep enough to cover him several times over. I use a 1 to 1 mixture for my hermit crabs and it works nicely. Re-hydrate the soil then add about the same amount of sand. If you need another, you can do another.

I used it to saturate the soil around the house, I would think it would work here as well.If the tree is or was infested, it may die.

I did a 10"x40" section. I turned the soil over with a cultivator and spread grass seed. I covered it with landscape fabric and seeded it again (maybe not necessary) but I got good results. Do not be in a hurry to remove fabric because the new grass will come right out with it. John F
