I've had spider mites & other insects I cant identify, I've sprayed & sprayed with no control, now my plants are covered in clear worms, which I assume are nematodes. I've already lost 5 plant & can't loose more
The Bonide Systemic Granules Insect Control are not specifically labeled for nematode control, but most broad spectrum insecticides can be used to control them. If spider mites and similar pests have been a consistent issue, a systemic root/soil treatment with these granules would help provide a more consistent form of protection and control on the plant through the year/growing season. If you are spraying only with things like neem oil and they are not working, you may need to take the plants outside and spray them with a residual insecticide such as Talstar that lasts for 30 days, in addition to the systemic treatment. Talstar should also help with nematodes for most situations. Neither of these products should be used on edible vegetation.
