Using Amvista Squirm:
- Spray when worms are active near the surface e.g. wet, damp soil during spring and autumn
- Do not apply immediately before or during heavy rainfall as product can be washed away before Squirm has ability to influence casting of worms
- Repeat applications every 10-14 days during periods of peak worm activity
- High risk sites and may require re-application every 10 days.
- High water volume required (10L of diluted Squirm covers 250-400m2)
- Avoid spraying during drought or when the ground is frozen
- Natural, nutrient based product - suitable for homeowners
- Safe for newly established grass turf
- Can be used all-year round on established turf
- If applying organic based fertilsers, these can prove attractive to worms and negate the deterrent effect of Purity
Please note. Amvista Squirm does not harm worms, but works to create an acidic environment which worms dislike. To achieve this environment, repeated applications must be made over a number of weeks or months.
If more rapid results are required, or you have a commercially sensitive situation such as golf greens, we also have Purity soil conditioning granules containing tea saponins.
