Leatherjacket Killer nematodes are of the species Steinernema that enter and kill the Leatherjacket larvae within a few days.

Pests of lawn and grass areas that feed off the roots which causes large lawn areas to turn yellow, attract birds and animals to rip up the grass to eat the grubs. Lawns will also suffer secondary damage as when the leatherjackets are present from animals such as badgers or birds.

Nematodes are a natural pest control which require warm soil conditions to be active. This means that ideally two applications a year, once in Spring and again in the Summer.

We advise to rake and scarify the lawn before application and keep the grass watered for 2 weeks. If the lawn is thin or patchy spiking the area is especially important. You cannot overdose with the Nematodes and they are safe for wildlife and your lawn. #

Suitable for storage in the fridge for up to 6 weeks if unopened.

PLEASE NOTE - As these are live creatures, they are bred in batches to be as fresh as possible and so your nematodes will be prepared to order and despatched in approx 5 working days depending on demand.

Can be applied with a watering can, Hose end feeder, knapsack sprayer or larger spraying equipment. Ensure that the lawn is moist at the time of application and the nematodes are applied with plenty of water.
