Handling
Soil Pest Rx
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 Rx Beneficial Nematodes on
sponges or bulk media cannot take the heat for more than a few hours. Do not
leave packages exposed to direct heat above 85 degrees F.
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 Rx Beneficial Nematodes . 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 typically depends on the pest (s) being controlled and the level of the
pest infestation.
Applied Bio Pest
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.
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.
USE IN THE VERY
EARLY MORNING OR LATE AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING.
FOG AND RAIN DAYS ARE GREAT !
Application Information
Easy application of the Soil
Pest Rx in this package can be
done with a garden hose (at least 50 to 75 feet), and a Soil
Pest Rx Beneficial Nematode Applicator.
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 Rx Beneficial
Nematodes are compatible with most fungicides, insecticides and herbicides.

Easy application of sponge or bulk media
packed Soil Pest Rx
Beneficial Nematodes
1) Prepare to make your application in the early
morning or late afternoon, strong sunlight will sterilize or kill them. Soil or
media temperature should be between 55 & 90 degrees F.
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) Remove all screens and or filters from the sprayer you have selected to use.
If this is not possible then make sure that the mesh size is 50 or coarser,
otherwise clogging may occur. Fill your Ortho or Gillmore sprayer with tap water
to halfway mark. Remove the package of Soil
Pest Rx Beneficial Nematodes from
your cooler or refrigerator and place them into the hose end sprayer or tank
sprayer you will use to make the application. 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, OUT OF SUNLIGHT. Water temperature should
be 50 & 90 degrees F.
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 Rx Beneficial Nematodes.
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 Rx Beneficial Nematodes. 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 Rx Beneficial
Nematodes 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 Rx Rx
Beneficial Nematodes . Remove the sponge from the applicator upon completion
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 completed soil pest control for the next 4 to 6 months for
most mild or temperate regions and the whole growing season for colder climates.
