Nemasys leatherjacket killer (100sqm pack)

Product Information

IMPORTANT: Make sure the lawn does not dry out after applying nematodes and keep it well watered for at least two weeks. If you have any success with any of these controls, or have any other ideas or suggestions in keeping their numbers down, I would love to hear about it. Get in touch or ask a question.

minutes if treating a lawn. Applications to lawns require more water to wash the nematodes through the grass thatch. PLEASE NOTE: Turf, Wildflower Turf, Sedum Mats and bulk Bag products are delivered on a pallet and can only be delivered to the kerbside. To calculate your area measure the width and length of the area to be treated and multiply them by each other e.g. 5m x 10m = 50 sq.mWith the feeder in an upright position, apply evenly to half of the area using a side-to-side motion. Application will take approximately 8 minutes under typical water pressure conditions.

Getting them out of the lawn and a target for birds and other predators is a good thing though. I have added this to my treatment recommendations. Method 5 – Encourage insect-eating birds.It is very important to irrigate immediately after application, water the grass well so the nematodes are washed below the thatch layer into the soil to reach the roots where the larvae will be feeding. We reported this issue to the house-builders and initially I asked them that I wanted them to replace the lawn with new turf, but to be honest I am not sure whether this will help after reading this article & Q&A’s. The weather has now turned cold so I do not think the nematodes will be the right immediate treatment (and perhaps not successful anyway due to the sheer amount of crane flies we had over September). Be vigilant all winter. Keeping an eye on your lawn through the dark winter months is important. A professional winter treatment will spot problems before they turn serious. You can then take steps to control their numbers.

The best form of protection is prevention. EU legislation has restricted the use of pesticides but you can employ organic solutions which don’t require a pesticide certificate. These are called ‘nematodes’, which are microscopic worms. They enter the grubs and infect them with a bacterial disease which kills them. Nematodes are available from various horticultural suppliers, but be warned; timing, soil moisture and the age of the larvae are all critical if the treatment is to be successful. Due to the fact that biological controls contain living organisms they have a short expiry date and should be refrigerated prior to use. This product is a biological control which is fully compatible with an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programme. Please note: these are a live product and have an expiry date usually about 2 weeks - this product is non returnable. In spring, when the ground temperatures rise, they will reappear and start consuming the grass roots and some top growth.These application windows coincide with the larvae being at a young and susceptible life stage and the soil temperature being above 12ºC, which is the minimum point the nematodes are at their most active in the soil. To calculate your area measure the width and length of the area to be treated and multiply them by each other e.g. 5m x 20m = 100 sq.m Soil temperatures should be above 10℃ for the nematodes to be active, if applying in the spring.
