If ordered on its own Nemasys is posted 1st class therefore we only charge £1 for postage and packagingNemasys No Ants – environmentally friendly and safe for children, pets, wildlife and beesWhat damage do ants do and how do I recognise it?:Black, red and yellow ants are found in the garden and, towards the end of July, swarms of flying ants take to the air looking for a mate and a place to lay their eggs. Black Ants are most commonly seen, in the house attracted by sweet food and milking greenfly and blackfly for the sweet honeydew. They can protect these from predators and if necessary move them to new feeding grounds. Black Ants can nest anywhere including under pavements and along the sides of lawns with nests of usually 4000 to 7000 ants.The Yellow Meadow Ant builds its nest in the lawn making unsightly mounds which are difficult to get the lawn mower over. They benefit from a neatly tended lawn as the short grass means that the nest underneath gets sufficient sun to stay warm. They forage under the ground so tend not to be seen until the nest is disturbed or they take to the air for the annual mating flight.Red Ants are aggressive and can deliver a painful sting if disturbed. The irritant in the sting is formic acid. They live in smaller colonies than the other species, about 300 individuals. Use Nemasys No Ants to deal with an ant infestation, , without any of the precautions associated with chemical use. Apply when ant activity is visible on top of the lawn, this is typically April through to September. Apply to moist lawns when the soil temperature is above 10C (50F) and water them in well. Make sure the lawn does not dry out for at least two weeks after applying nematodes. The ants do not tolerate the nematodes (Steinernema feltiae) near their nests and move their nests away from these areas.Nemasys No Ants is available in a pack to treat upto 16 nests.
nemasys-nemaslug-slug-killer was £9.99 now £8.49
If ordered on its own Nemasys is posted 1st class therefore we only charge £1 for postage and packagingThese nematodes (microscopic creatures) aggressively search out and attack slugs. They enter the slugs body through a hole behind their heads. Once inside they release a bacteria which stops the slug eating. The nematodes then start to reproduce inside and within 7-10 days the slug is dead. The nematodes continue to reproduce as the body breaks down. This new population enters the soil and searches out new slugs to attack. This is a natural, non-toxic product that is safe for both users and wildlife. The nematodes stay active for 6 weeks so a single dose protects plants when they are emerging in the spring and are most vulnerable.Nematodes can only be used in late spring and summer when the soil has warmed up (to above 5°C). However they can be used all year round in glasshouses and conservatories On heavy, waterlogged clay soil, the nematodes can find it difficult to move, so Nemaslug can be less effective in these conditions. It is best to refrigerate this product when it arrives and use it as soon as possible. 12 million Pack Treats 40 Sq Metres30 million Pack Treats 100 Sq Metres
