I recently tried out  nemasys to control sawfly caterpillars, first I hand picked the caterpillars and then applied the nematodes to the plants.

Every thing when well for about 4 weeks, then BINGO!! woke up one morning to find nude Gooseberry bush's  

As far as I know I followed the instructions but the exercise was a failure and I won't be repeating it again. For the cost of one application I could nearly purchase enough  Pyrethrin for the whole year.

The nematodes will only kill the pests that are present - they don't sit around waiting for the next lot to kill

As Nemasys caterpillar control is a cure rather than a preventative measure, apply the nematodes when the caterpillars are present.

I don't know why it doesn't work  -  All I can suggest is that you copy paste

 into Google to see the page I've quoted. sorry!

If that's true then it's far to expensive for me!
