Subject: flea control with nematodes

Dear Saneters,
	Has anyone out there had experience using nematodes to control
fleas in lawns?  I understand such products are on the market.  I 
believe they are supposed to control the larvae and pupae, but I have
not seen the product nor have I read a label.
	If so, does it work?  How long does it take for the nematodes
to become established?  Will they survive the winter in zone 6 
(West Virginia)?  If anyone has personal experience, I'd sure like to 
hear from you.
