            Resolved
            This company has scammed me 3 times now. First, the lacewing eggs didn’t hatch. Second, the beneficial nematodes were dead or nonexistent. I followed their instructions including temp humidity control. My third order I purchased double the amount of beneficial nematodes without results. I’ve applied everything purchased through them indoors for house plants. For reference, last year I purchased beneficial nematodes from a local nursery and it resolved a fungus gnat problem within two weeks. Arbico is either selling people sawdust or dead critters. I emailed them four days ago and never received a response.

            This past growing season I decided to increase my use of organics in **** control. Goal is ultimately ween off of those inorganics and created chemicals as much as possible. I found Arbico and tried some of the suggestions, such as hanging traps and inoculants. Found my experiments very beneficial, for e.g., for years I have had troubles with Squash Vine borers and other curcurbit specific pests. Right away I found a tremendous decrease in curcurbit pests and traps full of the unwanted. The nematodes went right to work on the wireworms in the test patch. Expanding this experiment for this upcoming grow. Satisfied with the products at this point and look forward to increasing the use of their products.
