LeatherjacketFree Nematodes are a new safe, natural and effective biological control for leatherjackets that gets right down to the roots for a green and healthy lawn without damage.
Leatherjackets are the soil dwelling larvae of crane flies or 'daddy long legs' which eat the roots of the grass, resulting in yellow patches and even the lawn dying. The nematodes get right to the lawn roots to help control the larvae and keep your lawn lush and green.
Easy application, the compact ‘globe’ packaging houses a diffusing bio-pouch which can be directly added to water and then applied using a watering can or a sprayer. The sachet will not dissolve at all, it works like a tea bag with the nematodes ‘diffusing’ out of the sachet when mixed in water. When the water turns milky / cloudy the nematodes have diffused out of the sachet, the gel-like carrier material contained within the sachets does not dissolve – this is simply the carrier for the nematodes and not the nematodes themselves.
Nematodes are microscopic so you will not see them in the water or the sachet – even though there are between 5 and 10 million of them per sachet! (product dependent)
This new award-winning natural control for leatherjackets does not need to be kept refrigerated. Neudorff nematodes do not need to be refrigerated due to being placed in a state called, cryptobiois’ which prevents them from moving or using oxygen. They remain alive in this state which means they can be stored for longer.
