Beneficial Nematodes
Harness the power of nature’s own pest control with our Beneficial Nematodes. These microscopic organisms target soil-dwelling pests such as grubs, weevils, thrips, and fungus gnats, providing an environmentally friendly and highly effective solution for integrated pest management. With species-specific options designed to target a range of insects, our nematodes help protect crops naturally while supporting soil and ecosystem health.
Retaliate BN/Hb
(Heterorhabditis bacteriophora)
Symbiotic Bacteria: Photorhabdus luminescens
Foraging Characteristics: Active ‘cruiser’ strategy to locate and infect sedentary insects. Possess a dorsal tooth in the anterior region of head, which helps them to gain entry
Temperature Range: Active at temperatures of 55 – 90F
Primary Pests Controlled: White Grubs, including European Chafer Grub (Rhizotrogus majalis), Japanese Beetle Grub (Popillia japonica), and the Ori
Retaliate BN/Sc
(Steinernema carpocapsae)
Symbiotic Bacteria: Xenorhabdus nematophila
Foraging Characteristics: Sit-and-wait or “ambush” forager, standing on its tail in an upright position near the soil surface and attaching to passing hosts, effective when applied against highly mobile insects.
Temperature Range: Active at temperatures of 65 – 90F
Primary Pests Controlled: Ground Dwelling Insects and Borers
Retaliate BN/Sf
(Steinernema feltiae)
Symbiotic Bacteria: Xenorhabdus bovienii / nematophilus
Foraging Characteristics: Both “ambush” foraging (standing on its tail in an upright position near the soil surface and attaching to passing hosts) and “cruiser” strategy to locate and infect sedentary insects.
Temperature Range: Active at temperatures of 55 – 82F
Primary Pests Controlled: Thrips (Franlinothrips sp.), Fungus Gnats (Bradysia sp), Fruit Flies (Drasophylla)
Retaliate BN/Sr
(Steinernema riobrave)
Symbiotic Bacteria: Xenorhabdus cabanillasii
Foraging Characteristics: Both “ambush” foraging (standing on its tail in an upright position near the soil surface and attaching to passing hosts) and “cruiser” strategy to locate and infect sedentary insects.
Temperature Range: Active at soil temperature of 60 – 95+F
Primary Pests Controlled: Leaf Notcher (Artipus floridanus) and Blue Green Weevil (Pachnaeus spp.)
