Beneficial nematodes - yay or nay? (lemmy.world)

I’ve got grubs in my vegetable garden. I looked into spraying nematodes to kill them, but I’m worried about it harming other bugs like butterflies, bees, and fireflies. Anyone have any experience with this? I don’t want to do more harm than good.

Most garden centers carry it. I used Monterey B.t. spray for a really bad inchworm infestation. It worked really well, but it does stink.
