“Previous order was fine and greatly reduced the infestation of catapillers. However, this time the contents of the packets was more like a paste and would not fully disperse when added to water. This clogged the sprayer so had to revert to a watering can but the rose on this also kept clogging up. Only time will tell if the treatment has been successful.”

“easy to use but I don't know whether I used them too late as damage already done. Haven't seen caterpillars since ....”

“Had a severe infestation of box tree caterpillars all over a large box hedge. After a brief search online I found the Nematodes on green gardener - I've used nematodes from green gardener before to successfully clear leatherjacket infestation. After a single application, I could see the remaining caterpillars were either dead or lethargic. Now, several weeks after finishing the course of treatment the hedge is infestation free and covered in new growth in the affected areas.”

“We discovered a couple of years ago that our box hedge was infested with box hedge moth caterpillars. We've been treating the hedge every year with the nematodes, in conjunction with the box hedge moth lure, and have managed to save the hedge which is now green and thriving. It's probably fair to say that we won't be able to completely eradicate the moth, but we are able to control it so that it does only minor damage. The lure is particularly useful, and in the last couple of months we've probably caught around 30 to 40 male moths.”

“Very effective, and amazing results. I'm very pleased with it, as I was resigned to losing my established bushes. Thank you.”

“Not sure if it worked. Did the treatments as required but had moths appearing after the last treatment. Leaves are growing back on the plants now.”

“I have no idea if the nematodes worked and presumably they could come again next year, it is an ongoing problem. I had previously removed many caterpillars from the shrubs.”

“Have used other nematodes in the past so had high hopes. We now have new growth on all out box hedges so are pleased with result so far”
