Purchased chafer grub nematodes with an applicator.
Applicator turned out to be a Miracle grow hose end feeder which I could have purchased elsewhere for £10 less. This should be shown in the picture and described as such on their site!

Dear David,
Thank you for your review.
I am sorry you are disappointed. It does state Miracle Gro in the description on the website –
This Hose End Feeder is ideal for applying Nemasys Nematodes.
The 'Miracle-Gro Hose End Feeder' has been tested and approved for applying the Nematodes listed below by Nematodes Direct and can also be used for applying liquid feed to plants and lawns.
It simply attaches via standard hose-pipe connector (not included) and features both a rose head and jet spray as well as an on / off switch for water flow.
With these sundry items we can not compete with stockists like Amazon and there prices fluctuate daily, so whilst they might be £14.99 today, they might be £25.99 tomorrow. We are charged a flat rate, but be assured we have not put a £10.00 increase on ourselves.
Kind regards
Samantha
Ordered Nematodes for Sciarid flies
Ordered Nematodes for Sciarid flies. Small black flies feeding on roots of plants. I had chillies growing since the end of December. Once I spotted the flies and I decided to buy nematodes to save my chillies. I ordered from this company and paid around £13, it didn’t arrive for a week, so I contacted them via email; they say it was posted and I should wait a little longer. The sun’s been shining and the weather was mild for February. About 10 days later it arrived with one week left for it to expire and it’s been sitting somewhere in a Royal Mail office
There was about half a tea spoonful of nematodes in the package. Instructions said my package is enough for 45square meters. I used it on my plants, but it didn’t bother the flies, I don’t have many chillies standing and lost m money, I am not a happy customer.

It's very hard to give a write up on something you can't see working.( Although I did see a lot of white grubs leaving the garden.) on a more serious side, my strawberries are clear of Vine weevil.

Highly recommend nematodes
I had tried lots of ways to get rid of fungus gnats using traps, gravel on top of soil, keeping soil dry etc but nothing worked. The nematodes have worked really well & finally got rid of them & I will definitely buy these again if/ when they reappear.

Happy with the service and product
Happy with the service and product, planning to repurchase every six or so weeks to keep on top of the slug issue! Not looking to completely eliminate the little darlings, just keep to a tolerable level in the polytunnel as no natural predators can access (flower farmer)
