Have no idea if they've got any in stock, but The Bug Store sells 
nematodes--$15/million, $35/3 million, etc., + shipping.  The address is 
4472 Shaw Blvd., St.Louis MO 63110, telephone is (314) 773-7374.  It's a 
cool store and they seem to be nice people.  Haven't bought any bugs 
there yet, but it's beginning to look as if I may have to buy some 
lacewings.....
