Is it effective on codding months? (apple worms)

I'm not 100% sure, but I would think so. I believe there is a list of all the insects it works on. It's similar to neem oil which works on most insects. Of course by blocking their mouths so they cant feed and eventually die off.

I am not sure I have not used it yet I don't know if you no but in early spring before the leaves come on and late fall after the leaves fall off you need to spray all your fruit trees need to be sprayed with a Neem Oil on all the bark and ground

I think the typical "cool dry place" out of the sun would be best. I would apply them as soon as possible to avoid them going bad. I don't know that cold will affect them. "it is likely that extremes of cold, drying or high summer temperatures would kill off nematodes..." Avoid extremes. How to apply? That was annoying and messy. If I recall, it said to mix the stuff with some water and soil, then spread after the sun has gone down. That would give the nematodes time to dig info the soil before the suns comes back up. The directions were on the container. The real question is - did it work? I'd have to say yes. We've had grubs outside our yard and found the occasional grub in the yard. Significantly less of an issue than before. I'd like to think they worked. Without some sort of test, there's no real telling. A lack of grubs, no an elimination of grubs is good enough for me. Another thing we did was buy fishing worms and applied them to the soil. Here in Arizona, the worms are, pathetic. Since then, we've had worms in our yard and they've been healthier looking than the scraggly things that we used to find. Terrible soil here in Arizona.

I have a feral community that had a real problem..I was able to eliminate the problem using Conquer and Archer insecticide. To eliminate the larvae I use beneficial nematodes from arbico organics 3x a year in April, July and Oct... FYI I live in the NY area.

It worked very well on my dogs. We have three that we wormed at same time and it worked perfectly! Good luck!

The best way to deal with the fruit flies... I control them with apple cider vinager and a drop of dawn dish soap. Then I let the worms eat everything in the bin before I add anything else.. I use Heinz cider. Not sure why but I've tried other brands and did not catch any flies. I also use a stemless wine glass. I've been doing this for several years and no mater what u put in your bin. Ur gonna get other visitors. As long as they aren't harmful to the worms they can be controlled.

Absolutely....if you have gnats now pour vinegar down your drain then use Drain Care as directed and then monthly. It works well!!!!

June bug larvae had eaten the roots of an Agonis, (sp.?) tree in my yard. I removed the tree and replanted a different tree after treating with Scanmask. It has been 1 year and the tree is healthy as I could expect.

I have a small yard and I was able to cover the front and back yard with the amount of beneficial nematodes that I bought. I was using it for fleas also and for grubs. In digging this year in the yard I have noticed a marked diminution in the number of grubs that I have run across. I will need to wait another 3-4 weeks to see the influence of the nematodes on june bugs.

Idk. Save your money. Invest in a composting site and worms. It will work better last longer.

As others have stated you need to put this down once a year in August which immediately kills the worms. They are the result of the June bugs larva. Where I live if you don't your lawn will be torn up by the crows who love to feast on them so I have a reminder if I do forget like this year. After the crows started digging up my lawn I put it down and it stopped them the next day. Amazing stuff and highly recommend it...

I bought 2 of these 4 months ago, I bought 1000 starter red worms and now have enough to start the second farm. I also have chickens and some day when I have extra worms, they may get a snack. I bought the 2 farms for the castings and the worm tea for my vegetables. Last summer a friend gave me some tea when my veggies weren't doing well. My garden thrived on the tea and chickens got fresh veggies. Jr at gameing_nm@yahoo.com

Yes - I used a piece of packing tape. I recently read that if you have only one or two trees, you can paint a plastic or fake apple from a crafts store in Tanglefoot and it will attract the larvae or moths, look perfectly natural on your tree and be easy to put on or off. I have not tried this, but thought it was interesting.

I have used this on my apple trees early in the morning. This was after flowering, it was in treatment of rust. The neem oil was effective, but a temporary solution. I ended up removing all of the cedar from the property as a more permanent solution. This neem oil is highly effective in controlling garden pests, mold, fungus, etc. We've been extremely impressed!

This is the first year that I've tried using it. At first I didn't know when was the "active growing season" but have applied it every thirty days since May (I'm in Piedmont NC). I think I do see a difference in some places which might mean that I missed them on earlier applications. Anyway, that's all I can offer at the moment,..."

While you technically can, I've always been told that the tumbling action will kill them before they have a chance to do anything. This type of composer is best for rotting and not worm based. A standard compost pile would be better for worms.

I use a 650ml spray bottle. I add 1 tablespoon of the fruit tree spray and fill with water. My peach tree still got infected with worms in the peaches and my Apple tree still got rust spots (fungus). I switched to stronger fungicide and insecticides. Unless you're really against non-organic I don't recommend this anymore....
