Technically, "Field Guardian" is a combination of "Guardian"
a sub strain of the Steinernematidae family, and "Lawn Patrol" is a
sub strain of the Heterorhabditatid family. Beneficial, entomogenous (insect
parasitic) nematodes. Nematodes are one of the most abundant groups of living
creatures in the world, with species ranging from pests of plants and animals to
beneficial species like this one. This microscopic creature can survive in
oxygen rich water or in the root zone of your plants. "Field Guardian"
will not harm plants, animals or humans.
What
does it attack?
"Field Guardian Nematodes" actively searches for insects, insect pupa
and insect larvae in places that are constantly moist. "Field Guardian

Many other insects that spend part of their life cycle in the root zone can
also be controlled. "Field Guardian Nematodes" do not kill other types
of nematodes. We have been rearing beneficial nematodes since 1986, and have
located a sub-strain we feel is far superior to those used in the past. Under
ideal conditions, "Field Guardian" can survive more than 90 days
without a host insect. Once "Field Guardian" locate and enter a host,
it will kill the host, reproduce within it and the offspring will exit in search
of more host insects; repeating the cycle.
Produced
by Hydro-Gardens
Hydro-Gardens rears "Field Guardian Nematodes" to insure freshness,
quality and prompt shipping to our customers. They are reared on ‘live insect
hosts’. Only those "Field Guardian Nematodes" that promptly kill
host insects, are selected. We know they work, because we document their
behavior. If "Field Guardian Nematodes" can enter a host insect, they
will kill the insect within 24 - 48 hours, then reproduce within the insect,
then next generation begins to emerge within 10 - 20 days thus providing
long-term control.
