Soil Pest R_x, Beneficial nematodes - Care & Handling
Soil Pest R_x Beneficial Nematodes products should always be very fresh to maintain their high quality and vitality. When picked up at your garden center they should have been refrigerated.
KEEP REFRIGERATED - until you are ready to use them. Use within 2 weeks of purchase or before the expiration date.
DO NOT FREEZE - you will kill them, you may refrigerate them for a few days before you use them.
DO NOT EXPOSE TO HEAT - you will “cook” them. Soil Pest R_x on sponges cannot take the heat for more than a few hours. Do not leave packages exposed to direct heat above 85F. for more than a few hours.
DO NOT EXPOSE TO SUNLIGHT - it will sterilize them within minutes and kill them shortly there after.
REMEMBER TO WATER - you need to drench the soil in the area you are applying Soil Pest R_x.  Contact with dry surfaces may kill them. They are creatures that depend on moisture to help them move through the soil to search out and kill the pests that are causing problems to your plants.
ALWAYS USE THE ENTIRE PACKAGE - once the seal is broken it would be difficult to maintain the product quality and its effectiveness.
HOW MANY TO USE? - the established and proven science regarding the use of beneficial nematodes for pest control continues to conclusively show that in most circumstances you need to apply 15,000 (Flea control), 20,000 to 25,000 (Cutworms, Grubs & Weevils) to 30,000 (Root Knot Nematode) per square foot. How many, depends on the pest being controlled and the level of the pest infestation.
ABP Bio Control packages and labels the correct species of beneficial nematode with the coverage area and the pests controlled to make the selection process quite easy and hassle free. Do not be fooled by suggested rates on any competing brand labels that suggest 1,000,000 per 1,000 to 3,000 square feet. Such claims cannot be supported by any of the current credible scientific evidence developed & gathered through research at leading universities and nematode producers.
Easy application of the Soil Pest R_x  in this package can be done with a garden hose (at least 50 to 75 feet) and a hose end sprayer. In the event your retailer does not have our specially designed sprayer then select an Ortho or Gillmore dial sprayer (for ease of use I like the Ortho dial sprayer) .
Soil Pest R_x are compatible with most fungicides, insecticides and herbicides. Contact your retailer or us for the latest test details.

CAUTION ON NEMATODE FRAUD
Do not be fooled by suggested rates on any competing brand labels that suggest 1,000,000 per 1,000 to 3,000 square feet. Such claims cannot be supported by any of the current credible scientific evidence developed & gathered through research at leading universities and nematode producers.

Application

USE IN THE VERY EARLY MORNING OR LATE AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING.
FOG AND LIGHT RAIN DAYS ARE GREAT !

Soil Pest R_x Application

1) Prepare to make your application in the early morning or late afternoon, strong sunlight will sterilize or kill them.

2) Do not apply to dry soils or dry grass. It is best to wet the area to be treated for a few minutes and then make your application.

3) Remember the minimum amount you want is 15,000 (Fleas) to 20,000 (Cutworms & Grubs) per square feet, in most circumstances. If in doubt then measure the area to be applied to make sure you have at least the minimum amount required to get effective control of your pest problem.

4) Fill your ABP Bio Control Sprayer, Ortho or Gillmore sprayer with un-softened water to halfway mark. Remove the package Soil Pest R_x  from your cooler or refrigerator and fill the cup half way with water, use a small amount of water to rinse the lid contents into the white cup or sprayer (there are nematodes on there).

Put into the sprayer or watering can;

• the liquid and sponge contents of the white cup

• the little sponge that is the white cup

• the rinse from the cup and lid.

Secure the lid tightly and shake for a minute or so. Then fill to “full level” mark on the sprayer. Let the applicator sit for 15 to 20 minutes, KEEP OUT OF SUNLIGHT. Lightly rinse the cup and the lid that the beneficial nematodes came in into the spray bottle or water can.

MAKE SURE THE FILTER SCREEN IS REMOVED FROM THE STEM OF SPRAYER

5) After that and prior to the application turn on your sprinkler system and apply up to 1/2 inch of water. For most systems this is about 5 to 10 minutes. DRY & HOT SURFACES WILL RESULT IN THE DEATH OF Soil Pest R_x .

6) When using a Ortho dial sprayers put the setting on 2 1/2. When using a Gillmore sprayer set the dial to number #5. Then attach to a hose and apply Soil Pest R_x . After completing the first coverage pass repeat process until the area you want to treat has been properly covered.

7) There may be some Soil Pest R_x  solution still left in the applicator so fill the unit halfway up and reapply the remaining solution to the treated areas. If you are using sponge packed Soil Pest R_x . Remove the sponge from the applicator and dispose of it in the garbage

8) After completion of the application turn on your sprinkler system and apply 1/2 to 1 inch of water. For most sprinkler systems this is about 10 to 15 minutes. You have now done soil pest control for the next 4 to 6 months for most mild or temperate regions and often the whole growing season for colder climates.
