Has any1 ever used this? Can it be safe to use when you have pet cats & children? I wouldnt risk it, but just out of curiosity wondered if any1 had knowledge of it?!

It's safe and works (not under all conditions, mind), but we decided once it was very expensive. If you search, you should find lengthy threads about it.

I used nematodes for cranefly larvae last year. Our front lawn was decimated by them the year before - literally form grass to bear earth in a matter of weeks.

Seems to have done the trick last year so I'd say they are worth a go.

Weird stuff - kind of like a white sticky, powdery web is the best way I can describe. You put a little bit in watering can and off you go.

As far as I know they are completely harmless to pets and kids - they are tiny microscopic things that are only interested in feeding off whatever they have been designed for.
