If they have always been around in ferns, why have we just started noticing
symptoms, started researching and looking for controls in hostas within the

The theory with some is that with the limitation on the use of pesticides has
allowed the nematodes which have been present to become more prevalent, and
very noticeable.
Some have even said that they are present in most soil and that all will see
evidence of them in all our gardens eventually if no acceptable control is
found.
