About SuperNemos

SuperNemos - an Irish invention - is a biological control product containing microscopic beneficial nematodes (found in healthy soil). The invention is a special formulation - patent pending - of nematodes which aggressively pursue several or different groups of insect pest; thus ‘Super’ and ‘Nemos’ (nematodes).

This invention was researched and developed in Ireland with assistance from Irish nurseries and soft fruit growers. The product was grant-aided by Enterprise Ireland.
  • When applied in specific soil, SuperNemos will attack its target insect species; the nematodes enter the host through body openings or by penetration of the body wall.
  • Once inside they kill the host within 48 hours.
  • Unlike any other Bio-Control (beneficial nematodes) products sold in the market (which contain only a single beneficial nematode species targeting only one group of pests), SuperNemos effectively targets a range of garden pests: wireworms, vine weevils, strawberry root weevils, carrot weevils, chafer grubs, caterpillars, cutworms, leatherjackets, cucumber, tomato & potato beetle larvae, cabbage worm, fungus gnats larvae and many more!
  • SuperNemos is an environmentally friendly product that is harmless to wildlife, earthworms, bees, bumblebees, pets and children - it attacks only target insect pests.

"We are very proud to have been the first nursery in Ireland to use and monitor the invention. SuperNemos has been applied and monitored at our nursery since autumn 2007. With easy seasonal applications, the product provided outstanding protection against all typical soil-born insect pest larvae including vine weevil and sciarid fly. We are delighted to recommend SuperNemos to all nurseries and gardeners."
