Nemasys No Ants

Go Back

Ant nests can be a real problem to control in border soils and lawns causing raised areas of soil and disruption to plant roots. They can be controlled with parasitic nematodes.

  • Simply water the nematodes directly into the nest using a watering can.
  • Apply April to September to a well-watered lawn or border.
  • Soil temperature must be at least 10ºC/50ºF and ants should be active.
  • The microscopic transparent worm controls both black and red ants.
  • Treatment can be repeated. One pack will treat up to 16 nests.
  • Safe for children, pets, wildlife, totally safe to use near food crops and to use the lawn directly after application.
  • Nematodes will attack the young Ant larvae so allow 10-14 days for visible effect.
  • They are safer, more effective, but slower acting than a contact action pesticide which kills the adult ant but not the young larvae underground.

The unopened pack may be stored in a fridge up to the shelf life shown on the package, usually 1 to 2 weeks. Once opened, the entire pack contents should be used immediately

growing information

Special note

Ant Nematodes (5 mill) 6 nests
The parasitic nematode, Steinernema feltiae, can be used as a non-chemical control of ants.

When to treat
April to September/October. With severe infestations the treatment may need to be repeated.

Soil temperature must be at least 10°C.

How to treat
Best applied in the evening or in dull, cloudy weather conditions, avoiding exposure to bright sunlight. It is vital to apply to a moist lawn or border as the nematodes are unable to move in dry soils.Mix the nematodes in 2 litres of clean water, stir, dilute further to 20 litres and apply immediately using a watering can.

Water again and keep the soil moist for 14 days.

The pack of 5 million nematodes will treat up to six large nests. The lawn is safe to use straight after application.

Storage
The unopened pack may be stored in a fridge up to the shelf life shown on the package, usually 1 to 2 weeks. Once opened, the entire pack contents should be used immediately
