How Nemasys® Works
Nemasys® contains nematodes in their vigorously infective stage. These nematodes attack Sciarid larvae by entering their natural body openings. Once inside, they release symbiotic bacteria that quickly kill the insect. Reproduction inside the insect releases a new generation of hungry infective juveniles which disperse in search of further prey.
