Soil temperature to use nematodes

Bensenville, IL(Zone 5a)

We have been in the 60's during the day and 40's at night here up until today. It looks like we are jumping from "fall weather" straight into summer. Starting tomorrow it will be in the 80's all week. Do you think our soil is warm enough to apply nematodes in order for them to work? I've been digging up lots of grubs and I'm freaking out since we had alot of racoon damage last year from them feasting on the little buggers. Thank you.

You might want to check with the store where you got the nematodes on that one. Shouldn't think temp is a major factor, it's trying to catch them in the right stage of their life cycle.
