how many nematodes to control fleas on one acre of land?

The biological company lists a recommended amount based on square footage. I would refer to their scaleWww.gardeningzone.comI actually purchased the nematodes for the grub worms attacking my grass and to deter the raccoons coming after the grubs and beetles. I only have 1500 sq. ft. Of grass to cover so I ordered 1 box. So far it is working. No grubs or beetles equals no raccoons or skunks looking for a meal. I'm really impressed with the product.

No. Will need some flea specific bug killer. FabriClear may work for about one week and you will probably need to use a large amount.$$

95' radius. I have 1 acre and 4 take care of most of the yard. About 10' along one side aren't covered. I can see where the moles are, so I know the ones in the ground are working. I am going to put 2 more in

I use about 1 jug per acre. Half as broad spray which uses more and half as spot treatment which is more efficient but involves more work. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure what the rating was on the sf coverage, but it comes on 2 sponges. I actually split the package with my neighbor (they were afraid with 3 dogs I would only drive them out of my yard and into theirs) so between us, we did about 2 acres on the package, as both houses sit on about a 1 acre lot each. We didn't do areas where the dogs never go, so I'd guess a good 1 to 1-1/2 acres was covered. Did them last summer, so far this year, all 5 of our dogs are flea free at this point. They must have feasted all winter long. I also have seen only a few spiders, maybe 1 catepillar, maybe a dozen rolly-pollies, no grubworms at all. It looks as if they had a larvae feast all winter, and we are bug-poor this year - although I'm certainly not complaining about that! If you're "infested" already, you might want to use something strong to knock them back, give that 30 days to get out of the soil so it doesn't kill the nemotodes, and then put them out, and they seem to have really worked around here. I'm about to do my spring maintenance dose in the next week or two. They say about twice a year anyway, spring and late-summer, early fall, to keep them active in your yard. I assume if they eat all the food sources, they'll only move to the neighbors yard. They are actual insects that need to feed, but they do reproduce also. You just need to get and keep them established in your yard.

First buy some diatomaceous earth. It's very inexpensive and kills fleas on carpet and animals. Second, contact the manufacturer with your questions. The unit I bought cleans hay bits from my horse trailer and back seat of my pick up of dog hair adequately but not perfectly.

Partially; some insects and eggs and nematodes are pretty small. You might consider heating/drying the soil to sterilize it.

No idea. I had fleas for over two years and one treatment of conquer has eliminated them. None in almost 12 months now.

I purchased 3 for our acreage, placed about 25 ft. from all sides of house. I too had an endless supply of mosquitos from a neighbors pond & creek bed. It seems to have cut them down considerably. We do go out with leaf blower at least once a week to blow off the collection that sticks to the zapper. Chickens eat the piles below it.

I had no damage to my grass. I live in Florida and have St Augustine grass. No problems with the nematodes.

My backyard and garden is a 50X75 ft. area and seems to cover this. Have had no mole/vole problems since I installed. I life at the beach, so I'm in a sandy soil area. Drove the critters into my neighbors yard though.

I have 2 1/2 acres, so I have a lot of ants. It took me about 2 weeks to get rid of them in my acre yard. Spray right on the entrance to hill and let it soak in. Now I walk around once a week with my spray and I might see 1 or 2 little ones starting up. So, I guess you can say it works great.

Depends on where you set up the control apparatus. We set it up close to the house and it covered a quarter acre easily.

I'm not sure there are any. It doesnt work. Perhaps, H20? I have a small dog wirh only a few fleas and this treatment did nothing. Left a line of sticky matted hair where applied. Zero effect on fleas.

They work to control the adults. Seem to work best if set around the base of the plants. Predatory Nematodes will kill the larva in soil in a week. I use the combination of the two.
