The nematodes should be applied when the soil temp is 12°C /54°F and the pest is present (anytime between May and September).

Bought some wire worm nematodes and a coarse rose for the watering can. Products arrived when promised exactly as described on the website. Easy to follow instructions, seems to have worked as advertised. Now only finding dead wire worms when digging the allotment. Good service would recommend this produt and company.

Thanks for the message and due to Brexit we are unable to send living products to Ireland as the post takes too long – sorry. Kind regards Jon @ Green Gardener

Thanks for the message and yes you can but be aware Wireworm has an extended lifecycle, so you may need to treat again next year. Kind regards Jon @ Green Gardener

Very efficient and very knowledgeable company. Nematodes always arrive with clear printed instructions. Good company to deal with.

It works. I know which varieties of potato were susceptible to wirework and which weren’t. And in the year I applied this, there were far fewer holes in the ones that usually have loads of holes.
Mike –
Its now the beginning of September, should i treat the soil now before winter so it is “ready for next spring as my potatoes were ruined this year! Also can you apply when crops are growing or should the soil be bare? Many Thanks
