They're using the terms "non-native wildlife species" and "animal" interchangeably, so I'm not sure about nematodes. You'd possibly be able to get an exception to allow the importation of nematodes, but you better not let them reproduce or you'd be facing fines.
The bill specifically excludes a laundry list of domesticated species, such as cats, dogs, cattle, pigs; chicken and ducks; and goldfish. (All exempt species are named, to prevent arguments over whether other species are domesticated, such as cockatiels. Guinea pigs are not among the exempt species.)
