Product Information

Can you recommend what steps we should take now and over the next 6 months to avoid further damage and/or what we could ask our builders to do to support this (either replace the lawn now, or dig it up and replace in spring for example)? We are happy to completely remove the lawn if this is best as it is fairly small & the grass not great. IMPORTANT: Make sure the lawn does not dry out after applying nematodes and keep it well watered for at least two weeks. Continue to keep the lawn moist for up to 2 weeks after application. Repeat these instructions for an introduction of a second nematode sachet application 7 days after the first application. Repeat applications may be required for severe applications. Full instructions are provided on delivery. Can I Store Nematodes?

Thank goodness for your blog as I just identified a big infestation in our beautiful and newly laid turf from summer last year. Really disheartening. minutes if treating a lawn. Applications to lawns require more water to wash the nematodes through the grass thatch. The nematodes then reproduce inside the dead pest and release a new generation of hungry infective nematodes, which disperse and search for further prey. I am sorry that you feel the need to remove all signs of nature from your outside space. We should learn to live with nature not actively try to destroy it.

Damage From Larvae: The young crane fly larvae start to feed on the roots of grass, continuing throughout Winter and into Spring.It’s not worth trying to get the remaining pests out now (June) as they will soon pupate and leave the lawn. Let their life cycle complete and then look at controlling numbers for next year. Keep them in the fridge for application as a preventative when conditions are correct later on in the year. We reported this issue to the house-builders and initially I asked them that I wanted them to replace the lawn with new turf, but to be honest I am not sure whether this will help after reading this article & Q&A’s. The weather has now turned cold so I do not think the nematodes will be the right immediate treatment (and perhaps not successful anyway due to the sheer amount of crane flies we had over September). I'm still putting plastic on the grass, I can't sweep the grass because it was ripping it up too much turf, so I'm using tweezers. I've got hundreds out so far.
