Description
- Black, red and yellow ants do not tolerate nematodes near their nests, so tend to migrate away from nematode infested areas.
- Ants are not killed by nematodes.
- It may be necessary to make a slit in the ant's nest with a spade or trowel prior to application to ensure all nematodes reach the nest.
Get hold of this natural deterrent to ants- giving ants their marching orders before they get out of control. Ant nests can be a real problem to control in border soils and lawns and cause raised areas of soil and disruption to plant roots. They can be controlled with parasitic nematodes.
Simply water the nematodes directly into the nest using a watering can. Apply April to September to a well-watered lawn or border. The microscopic transparent worm controls the grubs of both black and red ants. Treatment can be repeated. One pack will treat up to 16 nests.
Safe for children, pets, wildlife, totally safe to use near food crops and to use the lawn directly after application. Nematodes will attack the young Ant larvae so allow 10-14 days for visible effect. They are safer, more effective, but slower acting than a contact action pesticide which kills the adult ant but not the young larvae underground.
Please note that the soil temperature in the garden for the most effective results should be 5ºC (40ºF) or higher and moist. Nematodes are capable of surviving the odd sporadic frost and will become more active again when the temperatures rise. To ensure proper storage please keep the nematodes refrigerated upon delivery and apply by the use by date shown on the pack. Depending on the time of year when you receive your nematodes will dictate the length of the ‘Use by Date’ upon arrival but in all instances we recommend applying to the soil as close to their arrival date as possible. If you apply your nematodes slightly after the use by date they will still be effective as long as you have kept them stored cold in the fridge
