Nemasys No Ants
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

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
