February, about a month before emergence. You can do this in the kitchen
sink with tap water and a good thermometer.The proper cooking time is
somewhere between 120 degrees F for 20-25 minutes to 130 degrees F for 10
minutes. >>

Thanks Dan. Jody Fetzer, the Plant Pathologist / IPM specialist at the
Minnesota
Landscape Arboretum, posted a good follow up to the messages that Bob Solberg
sent to the AHS robin last year regarding Nematodes. This article actually
explains how to see them. I have sent a message asking if I may forward Jody's
posting to our group here.
