By adding more of these chafer grub-specific nematodes, you can quickly reduce chafer grub populations. When they come into contact with a chafer grub, they enter through natural openings and feed and multiply. Within days, the grub will stop eating, and within a week, it will die. The nematodes will multiply and spread out in the soil, seeking more chafer grubs to continue to propagate. Most of this occurs below the surface.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow do I use them?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNemasys nematodes are supplied as a dry powder, which can be mixed with water in a watering can and then applied to the area you want to protect. We advise applying in 2 batches. The first batch can be applied between April and May on discovering chafer beetles in the lawn, and the second between August and October to make sure that none remain by the following Spring.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it safe?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNematodes are completely natural and prevalent in most gardens throughout the UK. Nemasys predatory nematodes are simply a more precise and effective version, which will only target the local chafer grub population.

Typically, this will be early in April and May, and then later in August and October. Don't worry too much if the temperature drops after the nematodes have been applied. While they do best when the soil is above 10°C they can survive the odd frost and will continue to work below the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication Advice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDissolve the entire contents of the pack in a bucket containing 5L of water to create a solution.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStir vigorously and then take 500ml of the solution and add it to a 5L watering can fitted with a coarse rose and fill with water.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eApply this to a 10m\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e area\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRepeat steps 2 and 3 until the whole area has been treated\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn total, you should go through 10 watering cans (50L of water) and cover a 100m\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e area.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JHNG1KSluh0?si=Q3cILklkpqcyzrAf\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardening Naturally","offers":[{"title":"100sqm","offer_id":58474160357679,"sku":"btg1789526717898","price":32.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500sqm","offer_id":58474160390447,"sku":"pnl1789526717899","price":100.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/8797\/5727\/files\/nemasys-natural-chafer-grub-killer-heterorhhabdtis-bacteriophora_1.jpg?v=1789526722","url":"https:\/\/modestly.shop\/products\/nemasys-natural-chafer-grub-killer-heterorhhabdtis-bacteriophora","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
