Product Information

This is very difficult to determine as it is dependent upon many factors such as soil structure, moisture content and weather conditions. Ants like to follow aphids around because they can use the sugary sap that the aphids leave behind when feeding on plants.

Nematodes are a purely biological solution, meaning that they target the ants, and the ants only – so the ecosystem of your lawn isn’t disturbed and you don’t have to use any harsh chemicals either! It can take up to 21 days to see the true benefits from using the nematodes however you should notice a significant difference within the first two weeks. Steinernema carpocapsae is an evolved insect-killing symbiosis with bacteria and kills its hosts within a few days of infection. The Results There is nothing left of the lawn colony and grass and other lawn plants are filling back in. They’re not carpenter ants (they live in wood) and almost never go indoors, but their large nests often destroy plantings and sections of lawn, mostly through burying plants and excessive tunneling.For more information on how The Pallet Network delivers our different types of products, please watch this short video. You’ll need to locate the centre of the nest and apply the nematodes directly using either a handheld sprayer or a watering can. As an ambush forager, Steinernema carpocapsae is especially effective when applied against highly mobile surface-adapted insects and below-ground insects are also controlled by this nematode. If nematodes aren’t applied during rainfall, it’s best to irrigate afterwards, keeping the soil damp for a minimum of two weeks.

Get in touch with us today and start a professional lawn care programme to give yourself the lawn you’ve always wanted. For proper and effective control of ants within your lawn – the best course of action is to use nematodes. They are safer, more effective, but slower acting than a contact action pesticide which kills the adult ant but not the young larvae underground.

I was to soak the area the previous day (done), then open the ball and remove the tiny filter bag of filler that container the dormant nematodes.Suspendisse varius, lacus id ullamcorper volutpat, metus leo pulvinar dui, sit amet condimentum urna erat vel ipsum. These are larger ants, usually black (mine were), although they do come in other colors, and they build bigger sandy-looking nests with multiple entrances. We also use different external services like Google Webfonts, Google Maps and external Video providers. S. carpocapsae is also highly responsive to carbon dioxide once a host has been contacted, thus the spiracles are a key portal of host entry. Add approximately 5 litres (2 gallons) of water into watering can and stir the mixture to ensure the nematodes are well mixed.

Nemasys® No Ants is safe to use on turf or soil without any of the precautions associated with chemical use. Keep lawn moist for the next 3 days (or 1 week in dry weather) to ensure nematodes are flushed down into the root zone where feeding larvae are present.If ants are a problem for your lawn, our technicians will pick up on them during your free 14-point lawn analysis, and draw up a treatment plan to suit the needs of you and your lawn. I have purchased and used two packets of nematodes and have not seen any clear proof that they do anything to the ants nests, they are still shoving up earth all over the lawn. You just apply to moist soil when the soil temperature is above 5ºC (41ºF) and ensure the soil does not dry out for at least two weeks after applying nematodes. Steinernema carpocapsae is also particularly effective against insect larvae, including various webworms, cutworms, armyworms, girdlers, some weevils, and wood-borers. However, at this point, treating ants with nematodes doesn’t seem to be a miracle solution, working in some cases, but not in others.
