What is anti nematode?
Anthelmintic is the term used to describe a drug used to treat infections of animals with parasitic worms. This includes both flat worms, e.g., flukes (trematodes) and tapeworms (cestodes) as well as round worms (nematodes).
How can nematodes be prevented?
Prevent nematodes from entering your garden by using only nematode-free plants purchased from reliable nurseries. To prevent the spread of nematodes, avoid moving plants and soil from infested parts of the garden. Don’t allow irrigation water from around infested plants to run off, as this also spreads nematodes.
Where are nematodes found?

How do you treat soil for nematodes?

How to use nematodes
- The soil needs to be above 5C (and will remain so, even at night).
- The pests or their larvae need to be active.
- Nematodes should be applied when light levels are low. They are light sensitive, so apply them in the very early morning or at dusk.
