Was it in spring? Because that's when you ought to do it. Twice at 3
weeks intervals.

Very misleading indeed.

One *starts* applying it in spring when the ground has reached a temp of
above 5°C or 40°F. You can use nematodes outdoors between mid March and
October. It can/should then be used continually, every SIX WEEKS throughout
the year. It's also a good idea to apply it in autumn before the slugs lay
their eggs. You need to use it for 2 to 3 years before seeing the full
benefits but it certainly does work.
However, if you apply it only in spring and only twice at 3 weekly
intervals, of course it won't work.
For vine weevil, we apply it in April and October and we don't have vine
weevil.
