Chafer larvae can cause devastating damage to lawns. We supply microscopic beneficial nematodes (eel worms) which are watered into the lawn. The ground needs to be above 12°C for this product to work. This product is not sold during the colder months.
The best time to apply chafer grub control is at the end of the summer, when the newly hatched grubs will be at their most vulnerable. However if you find after a warm spring that the grubs are a problem even before they have pupated in May, then you may want to treat them at the beginning of the season. The treatment may be more effective in Autumn than in spring, but if your lawn is suffering then some treatment is better than none.
Some of the Chafer damage is caused by the grubs chewing at the roots of the grass, but much of it is caused by birds and animals scratching away at the soil searching for the juicy grubs.
How about ditching the bucket and maths involved in applying nematodes?
This great bit of kit allows you to apply nematodes using your hose, a measuring jug and a stirrer. It's also a timesaver and great for applying nematodes to large or high up areas.
Opening and closing the sprayer
Bend the plastic tab so that the round sprayer button can be turned 90 degrees. The sprayer is now ready to use.
Full Instructions
1. Mix the entire contents of the nematode sachet with 1 litre of lukewarm water and stir until the product is completely dissolved. This will leave you with the nematode concentrate.
2. Use a funnel, or measuring cup, and pour the required amount of concentrate into the Nema Super Sprayer. Top this up with tap water. Correct application amounts are detailed below in Table 1.
3. Attach the sprayer head to the bottle.
4. Shake the Nema Super Sprayer to mix the nematodes in the liquid.
5. Connect a garden hose to the Nema Super Sprayer.
6. Open the water tap and start spraying, moving the sprayer gently back and forth. Start with the most damaged areas and continue spraying all the areas where you suspect the presence of pests.
• After 3 - 5 minutes (depending on the water pressure) all of the nematodes will have been applied to the soil, or plants, and the Nema Super Sprayer will be empty.
• Repeat the application steps as often as indicated in the refill table below.
• Clean all parts of the Nema Super Sprayer thoroughly with water after use.
