Nematodes for Millipede Control
After 18 years of marketing the nematodes for Millipede Control, Bug Central have now passed this product on to Ecogrow, the specialist nematode company.
For more information on the range of products supplied by Ecogrow, and for ordering your millipede nematodes, you can go to www.ecogrow.com.au.
Way back in 2007, Bug Central took over the ‘Millicon’ business,
and started marketing the nematodes. Whilst it was an exciting new product for
Bug Central, it was not a new concept, with the nematodes being used against
millipedes since the 1980’s after research supported by the South Australian
government.
From the early days of sending out nematodes in petri-dishes
and having to collect up millipedes and inoculate them in the petri dishes, we
now promote the improved system of attracting the millipedes to a bait station
and letting them spread the nematodes themselves.
For all this time, the nematode specialists at Ecogrow have
been breeding the nematodes and dispatching them to all our clients. And now
from this season, Ecogrow will also be selling the nematodes and looking after
customers directly. I will be helping them in this transition, making sure that
all the knowledge we have collectively built up over the decades is passed
along.
