Among the most important entomopathogenic nematodes, H. bacteriophora possesses considerable versatility, attacking lepidopterous and coleopterous insect larvae among other insects. This cruiser species appears most useful against root weevils, particularly black vine weevil where it has provided consistently excellent results in containerized soil.

This nematode species is similar to Steinernema except that it can enter its prey directly through the body wall as well as through body openings. Considered by many to be more agressive.

A warm temperature nematode, H. bacteriophora shows reduced control when soil drops below 68°F (20°C).
