Nemasys J – Biological Control of Leatherjacket (100m², 500m²)

Damaging leatherjacket larvae are laid as eggs in lawns during August by the Crane Fly. The withdrawal of synthetic chemical insecticides means Nemasys J is now the best method to naturally control leatherjackets by using the beneficial parasitic nematodes in Nemasys J.

The Nemasys J 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.

Key points:

• Contains the beneficial parasitic nematode Steinernema feltiae.
• Larvae die within 10-14 days.
• Will not damage turf and is harmless to pets and wildlife.
• Harmful leather jackets are most active August to October and adult beetles July to August.
• Areas of use - lawns, golf courses, amenity & outfield turf & amenity grassland.

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.
