The application method is somewhat messy. My wife wasn't happy about the mess in the yard, but it goes away after a mow or two. I have no idea if there were even neatodes in the package as you can't see them. BUT, we haven't seen any grubs in the yard each time we've dug around (maybe one). I also have a bacteria that I added, so I don't know which one actually did the job. I'd rather have these worms killing stuff that adding chemicals to the yard.

I was very disappointed with this product. It was quite a let down when, after seven days of edge-of-the-seat waiting (last time I go in for Super Saver shipping), the postman delivered not a large and wriggling sack of run-of-the-mill plant-parasitic nematodes, but rather one containing seven million or so specimens of Borneo cutaneous larva migrans (a.k.a. "Creeping Nematodes"). I don't know whether I got exactly seven million of them, but my doctor assures me that they are in fact the rare Borneo variant.

On the bright side, I got a tremendous bargain on so many specimens of such a rare parasite. And the course of treatment consists of just a few short months of Nematodicidal jellies and suppositories and a few potent sedatives to help me sleep through the otherwise unbearable itchiness caused as these little devils burrow around under my skin.

However, I'm reluctant to give these Nematodes any fewer than five stars. I might not like what they're doing, but they're doing a great job!
