The nematodes should be used at the first sign of the pest, so long as the temperature is above 10°C. Repeat application may be necessary. For root pests fortnightly is recommended, for foliar pests weekly for three weeks and for trees 2 applications two weeks apart.
As soon as you receive your nematodes put them in the fridge until you are ready to use them. On the day of application get them out and allow them to warm up to room temperature.
