Biological Control of Chafer Grub - 2 pack sizes
*PLEASE NOTE* - This product may be supplied as a either brand (pictured) however they are the same product. If you have any queries please contact our tech team.
Nemasys G is an organic product that will naturally control chafer grub larvae in grass and turf using nematodes. The presence of chafer grubs is usually seen by rough scruffy turf being pulled up by birds & animals as they search for fresh grubs.
*Please note as this is a live product, we organise direct delivery from the manufacturer direct to our customer in "cool-pak" packaging. This does mean that deliveries of nematodes can take from 2-3 weeks to ensure that you receive the most fresh and viable nematodes*
Damaging chafer larvae can be naturally controlled by using the beneficial nematodes in Nemasys G.
The Nemasys G nematodes enter the larvae and stops them feeding within three days of infection. The larvae then die within 10-14 days.
The nematodes complete their life-cycle within the larvae, then enter the soil seeking more hosts, and so the pest control continues naturally.
2 pack sizes are available to choose from:
50 million nematodes covering 100m2
250 million nematodes covering 500m2
