It is logical to think that chemicals will affect viability, but generally
these nematodes last until the food source (grubs) is gone.
You should direct your questions to the various manufacturers.

It's a good starting point, but as you stated a more holistic, biological
approach is necessary to overcome the root cause.

Subject: [compost_tea] expected nematoad life ?


    Hi everyone , I was talking with a potential customer this morning and
he is looking at buying and putting some nematoads in his yard to control
grubworms, his question to me is since his lawn is a basicaly chemical lawn
how long can the expected life of the nematoads be ? I expalined to him that
he needed a more organic friendly lawn to sustain life for these organisms a
more diverse population of organisms to really do him any good, instead of a
one time shot of nematoads that are going to kill off his grubworms as
stated by some retailers. can some one tell me how long these wood live in
a standard fertalizer lawn, would they do him any good on a short term
basis,
              Thank you all for the help, Reece
