Beneficial Nematodes

... Anyone use(d) them for outdoor flea control?

I am looking for info on their effectiveness. I do not expect them to be a cure all but to help. We have a large yard (.89 acre fenced) in the city. Fleas are not horrible but I would still like to control the outdoor flea population a bit more and most yard powders and sprays are not practical at all and I prefer to stay away from chemicals and pesticides. The goal here would be to use them in the areas the dogs frequent most when outside when we play or where they like to lie down.

We use DE in the home and in some places outside but a friend suggested I look into the nematodes and I figured I would get some opinions on it. I have used other natural pest control methods (Fly Predators) in the past for horses that worked well but not the nematodes.

Thanks for any information you guys can provide.
