# I just got myself some beneficial nematodes to kill my long-time…

I just got myself some beneficial nematodes to kill my long-time unwanted guests: the thrips. I was excited that I found some for cheaper than predatory mites, but I just realized it might be trickier to successfully apply them. Seems like they need to be added to the plant’s soil via water. Here’s the catch though: I have about 100 plants and they literally never all need water at the same time 😅 Do I risk overwatering some just this once to apply the nematodes? Unfortunately the todes can’t live in water alone for more than a few hours otherwise I’d batch water. Hmmm 🤔

Would love to hear how this plays out!
