NemaShield HB 500 million

Control root feeding grubs and larvae with an application of NemaShield HB. The beneficial nematodes, Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, will actively seek out the grubs and larvae to infect them. Feeding subsides and the host will die within a few days. The nematodes in NemaShield HB actively search for insect larvae and enter through natural openings. As the nematodes feed on the host body, they excrete a specific bacteria, that is toxic to larvae. The bacteria multiply very rapidly and convert the host tissue into products that the nematodes use as a food source. Larvae die within a few days, host turns orange-red to red-brown. Next generation of nematodes leave the old host and actively seek out new ones
