Hi Marilyn,
I think I misled you about the chlorinated water - use distilled when you mix the nematode dirt with water - before spraying it on. The nematode dirt has to set in the water for 30 minutes - that's when the chlorine might kill them or some of them. After 30 minutes, then you stain the dirt out of the water - the nematodes are microscopic and they go with the water. Then you spray them on the yard. When spraying it on the yard or watering the yard, regular chlorinated water is just fine and the nematodes will be just fine!

Good luck.
