Four places to use nematodes

Lawns

Use Nemasys chafer grub or leatherjacket killer to prevent these annoying young grubs and larvae in your lawn from eating and damaging it. Apply to an already moist lawn.

Containers

Nemasys Natural Vine Weevil Killer will prevent the new C-shaped, white larvae from eating all the roots of po ed plants. They love sedums and heucheras.

On brassicas

Use Nemasys Natural Fruit and Veg Protection on members of the brassica family – ornamental or otherwise – which can be affected by cabbage caterpillars.

On soft plants

Nemaslug can be watered onto plants affected by the ever-present molluscs. It won’t work well on snails, but use repeatedly on slugs for good results.
