Dear Saneters,
Has anyone out there had experience using nematodes to control
fleas in lawns? I understand such products are on the market. I
believe they are supposed to control the larvae and pupae, but I have
not seen the product nor have I read a label.
If so, does it work? How long does it take for the nematodes
to become established? Will they survive the winter in zone 6
(West Virginia)? If anyone has personal experience, I'd sure like to
hear from you.
