    .? What is the lifecycle of the nematodes?
    A

    Beneficial Nematodes will remain effective for up to two years, but annual applications are recommended when using Orcon Flea Destroyer. First, the juveniles will seek out pest insects in the soil (the fleas) after application, infect them and release bacteria. They will then multiply inside the pest, develop into adults, and kill the pest. The new juveniles emerge to seek out new hosts.
