Nemasys Ant Killer Nematodes - No Ants
Nemasys Ant Killer Nematodes – No Ants was £9.95 now £7.95
Ant nests can be a real problem to control in border soils and lawns causing raised areas of soil and disruption to plant roots. They can be controlled with parasitic nematodes. 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 when the soil temperature is above 10ºC (50ºF) and water them in well. Make sure the lawn does not dry out for at least two weeks after applying Nemasys Ant Killer Nematodes 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 16 nests. Water the nematodes directly into the nest using a watering can. Apply April to September to a well-watered lawn or border. Soil temperature must be at least 10º C and ants should be active. The microscopic transparent worm controls both black and red ants. Treatment can be repeated Nemasys No Ants is environmentally friendly and safe for children pets wildlife and bees. Safe 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 When you receive your pack of Ant Killing Nematodes the unopened pack may be stored in a fridge up to the shelf life shown on the package usually 1 to 2 weeks. Once opened the entire pack contents should be used immediately
