Entomopathogenic nematodes have the ability to <strong>di</strong>scriminate among suitable and not suitable <strong>di</strong>fferent potential hosts. Recent experiments (see above), demonstrated that while <strong>di</strong>fferent strains of entomopathogenic nematodes were lethal to insect larvae (Tenebrio molitor), <strong>di</strong>d not infect non-target organisms such as Heartworms, Scorpions and Millipedes. In conclusion entomopathogenic nematodes are safe to humans and to non-target organisms, non-polluting and thus environmentally safe and acceptable.
