Chafer Grub Nematodes

Chafer Grub Nematodes Description

Chafer Grub Nematodes

Chafer beetle larvae attack grass roots, grass growth slows and yellow patches appear.

The grass is easily pulled up, and has little or no root structure.

Chafer beetles emerge from the lawn, they lay their eggs, which hatch into grubs that feed on the grass roots and then burrow deep into the ground.

They lie dormant deep in the soil before moving to the surface in the spring to emerge as beetles again.

Rooks, magpies, crows and woodpeckers feeding on your lawn are a good sign of a chafer grub infestation.

Wildlife, such as foxes and badgers, can also create a lot of damage as they dig up your lawn in search of grubs for food.

The chafer's life cycle needs to be broken or re-infestation will occur and the problem will get progressively worse.

If you have just discovered Chafer Grubs in your lawn or had a severe infestation in the past, apply to moist lawns when the young grub larvae are active. - from April to May and from August to early October.

Most effective when the soil temperature is above 10ºC (50ºF) and ensure the soil does not dry out for at least two weeks after applying

The nematodes come complete with instructions and can be applied using a watering can or sprayer.

Nematodes are capable of surviving the odd frost; so, don't worry if the temperature falls after you have applied the nematodes.

Safe to use around children and pets, there is no need to exclude them from treated areas.

Chafer Grub Nematodes have an expiry date usually about 2 weeks.

Use the whole pack before the expiry date.
