Which Nematodes For Fleas Should You Use?

The choice of which nematodes for flea control you use will depend on the size and location of the infestation. If you’re treating an entire home, five million nematodes is enough to treat 200 square feet. For a larger area, you can apply ten million nematodes. The application area should be extended a few feet outside the area where the fleas are active. A heavy infestation should be reduced by half. In treating an outdoor area, focus on areas where your pet spends most of its time. For example, if your pet is lying in a shaded area, this can be a safe haven for fleas.

Using beneficial nematodes to kill flea larvae is a safe and all-natural way to get rid of fleas without chemicals. These worms live in soils around the world and have special gut bacteria that is fatal to fleas. The best part is that these nematodes are not harmful to humans.

Nematodes should be purchased from reputable suppliers. They have a limited shelf life and should be used soon after purchase. If you can’t use them immediately, store them in the refrigerator. You can also cover them with aluminum foil to protect them from the light.
