Abstract: Peachtree borers, Synanthedon exitiosa, in 10 cherry laurel shrubs growing in a landscape setting were treated with the nematode, Steinernema carpocapsae (strain All). Ten infested cherry laurel were controls in the trial. Nematodes were applied in April using a backpack sprayer. Applications of entomopathic nematodes significantly reduced (66%) the number of living larvae associated with the plants.
