Natures Good Guys - Triple Blend Beneficial Nematodes HB+SC+SF (50 Million)

I have been putting in an orchard slowly as finances permit and have suffered losses from grubs and every manner of soil dwelling insect. I tried EVERYTHING. If it's not the grubs, it's the moles, raccoons, coyotes and fox digging up my tree roots and plants to get to them. I was ENTIRELY skeptical about this product, but did research and ordered about twice as much as I needed. It's only been 2 weeks and I consider my problem SOLVED. No more digging, no more dying and my trees visibly sprang back to life. Un-friggin'-believable!!!Highly recommend!! I did my garden, too, but haven't planted yet.I know they are still working, but literally in 2 weeks I SAW the difference!!VERY HAPPY!!!NOTE: My daughter had the microscope, but I was going to check them for viability. Next time I absolutely will...but the proof is absolutely in the pudding!!NOTE #2: I get extra points for going out with a flashlight in my boxers at 4am when ot was raining to spray them!! WORTH IT!

*** after 3 emails & asking for a phone call I did get a replacement over nighted to me. I was so busy I forgot to update my review.I also just got my spring order a couple weeks ago, not fond of the envelope & prefer the box. But the microscope don't lie and they were very much alive!Well... I hate to do this, but... I am so mad right now! I have ordered from this company for almost 5 years and have ALWAYS had excellent outcome!!Packaging was Horrible!! A bubble wrap envelope with ONE hot icepack! Normally they come in a Styrofoam container with multiple ice packs.I tested under the microscope immediately and had NO MOVEMENT!!I emailed immediately and got the response " they are very yardy and the icepack is for moisture" Hmm... Okay, then why does it say refrigerate immediately and to keep below 45 degrees until your getting ready to use them??? Response also said they would smell like rotton meat if bad, maybe they werent "rotten" yet, Just dead.Either way I've emailed again and still waiting on a response.Last year they shipped them on a Thursday and I got them the following Wednesday, obviously they were bad. They replaced them with NO PROBLEM!!Im not sure if theres a new manager or they've just given up on running a reputable business but i am livid at this point.We get crane flys really bad, this is why I order twice a year. So guess what... The flys have done tore up my yard because the nematodes arent working like they usually do.I even put them in a container with multiple grubs (as I do with EVERY batch) any other time the grubs are dead or at least soft and dying with in 24 hours.NOPE NOT THIS TIME!!! they're all still nice and plump digging around.Guess ill be searching for a new company and chalking this up as a loss unless they man up and send me new ones with peoper packaging."IF" I get them and they're alive I will Most definitely Update this review.I understand the pandemic is making it hard on all business's and keeping enough employees around to properly ship products. But uf you cant do it right, just shut down for a while.

So, this is my second year using their triple blend of nematodes and it’s been a life changer. I have two large beds (and a ton of potted plants) out back and living in a condo my back lawn is a 40 year old sand and grass nightmare of over fertilized and salted earth. After a year of soil building I had two beds that were approaching living soil, not just dirt and sand. The second season of veggies out there really told me the story, any edible plants and soft ornamentals were a target for EVERYTHING to feast on. You know the drill.My tomatoes especially had roots so knotty from invasive root knot nematodes that they were disease vectors and generally sickly to say the least. The missing ingredient in my soil was not mycos, the fungal network seemed alive and well. But learning to about the bacterial and microscopic food web changed everything for me.I used this mix liberally and watered it into my beds and all my plants, the neighbors yard, the tree line behind my house, you get the picture. And when I say this was the missing ingredient I wasn’t kidding. The next planting I did the results were obvious just using my eyes, no need for a soil examination. The balance this brought to my soil created a chance for the “good bacteria and bugs” to finally step up and keep things closer to balance. The new ecosystem proved more hospitable to worms, the roots of old plants and dirt broke down into soil so much faster the next season it wasn’t even funny.So now I know. I use this as a pretreatment for any raised beds, treat my potted plants monthly and having something that looks like water to spray on my neighbors yards makes them wave and makes my border large enough that I’m not under constant attack from property line soil differences. I will always recommend to people that this is a basic part of building good soil, don’t wait for problems and go looking for a solution. Use this to Eliminate so many common problems before everything is out of whack, it’s always easier to start on a good note then play catch up all season! 10/10 would recommend and also treat my neighbors property lol
