Environmental Factor™ Grub Busters® Beneficial Nematodes are a natural pest control solution designed to target and eliminate soil-dwelling insects. Nematodes are naturally occurring microscopic worms that actively seek out hosts, and this product contains tough varieties that kill soil pests such as grubs, flea larvae, weevils, cutworms, and more. Application is a simple three-step process: open the package, place the sponge into a hose-end sprayer, fill with water, and apply. Grub Busters nematodes actively seek out grubs in the soil and reproduce, providing lasting, natural pest control.
