“We have several box hedges and have never had a problem before this year. As soon as I saw one patch of caterpillars I realised they were everywhere but the nematodes seemed to have stopped them after the first spraying. Sprayed again since there were still moths around but no more noticeable damage. Will definitely buy again next year.”

“Sadly the caterpillars appear to be winning at the moment.”

“Seems to knock back the box caterpillar infection. But they don’t keep very well in the fridge - the powder sort of clumped together so that it was difficult to dissolve and the lumps kept blocking the sprayer. Possibly I left it too long so will have to be more exact with timing next time. Seems to be important to get the spray on as many leaf surfaces as possible so that the caterpillars get in contact which is difficult on a very thick bush.”

“Previous order was fine and greatly reduced the infestation of catapillers. However, this time the contents of the packets was more like a paste and would not fully disperse when added to water. This clogged the sprayer so had to revert to a watering can but the rose on this also kept clogging up. Only time will tell if the treatment has been successful.”

“easy to use but I don't know whether I used them too late as damage already done. Haven't seen caterpillars since ....”

“Had a severe infestation of box tree caterpillars all over a large box hedge. After a brief search online I found the Nematodes on green gardener - I've used nematodes from green gardener before to successfully clear leatherjacket infestation. After a single application, I could see the remaining caterpillars were either dead or lethargic. Now, several weeks after finishing the course of treatment the hedge is infestation free and covered in new growth in the affected areas.”

“We discovered a couple of years ago that our box hedge was infested with box hedge moth caterpillars. We've been treating the hedge every year with the nematodes, in conjunction with the box hedge moth lure, and have managed to save the hedge which is now green and thriving. It's probably fair to say that we won't be able to completely eradicate the moth, but we are able to control it so that it does only minor damage. The lure is particularly useful, and in the last couple of months we've probably caught around 30 to 40 male moths.”

“Very effective, and amazing results. I'm very pleased with it, as I was resigned to losing my established bushes. Thank you.”
