I contacted a company about the nematodes in hot weather. I have pasted their answer below. Colette In a message dated 6/25/2008 6:50:52 A.M.

As to your question, in such a hot area I would recommend Diatomaceous Earth with Pyrethrine in it instead. It kills off insects as well. Nematodes only live well when the temp is between 50 to 95 degrees approximately and I know that Las Vegas can get up to 120 degrees sometimes, which would kill off the organisms. The Diatomaceous Earth is just a powder, it doesn't contain organisms, therefore temp doesn't affect it. Hope this answers your question! Have a pleasant eco-friendly day!
