Thought I would report my recent experience with beneficial nematodes. Just last month we discovered there were termite trails around the base of the house, outside of the dining room of all places! After removing a few panels of siding ~ cement fiber siding, btw, we discovered termites inside making trails in the wood frame. DH has replaced the wood and completed the repairs to the house, thank goodness!

To make a long story short, we purchased some beneficial nematoes and released them according to the instructions all around where the termites were found. There are no more termite trails to be found.

And I just realized that we purchased our nematodes from the place Stormyla recommended, Arbico organics *Link is listed above*
They were very helpful and prompt in getting our nematoes :thumbsup:

With our dogs, cat and now chickens running around, I am glad we were able to solve our termite problem without chemicals!! Dh agreed to give the nematoes a try before going the chemical route and it seems to have worked!!
