These are mostly species-specific, meaning they can be used to get rid of a given 'pest' very effectively. Entemopathogenic (ie pathogens of insects)nematodes are used as a part of sustainable pest management in many agricultural situations. IF the nematodes you got are indeed parasites of midges then great you have found an ecological solution! they certainly won't 'eat' earthworms, and even less so fish or plants. Most nematodes are good duys in the soil - I know I study them on a daily basis!DaveGenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13365770495524545348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7761967593032726760.post-32277815536248324782011-06-10T17:47:39.563-08:002011-06-10T17:47:39.563-08:00So, when are you going to add your next post?So, when are you going to add your next post?Curt Karnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265686774249889483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7761967593032726760.post-74240102158792959622011-05-17T21:23:51.481-08:002011-05-17T21:23:51.481-08:00The knee bone's connected to the thigh bone......The knee bone's connected to the thigh bone...the thigh bone's connected to the hip bone...the hip bone's connected--well, you get the idea!
