Nematodes against lawn and turf damage

Have you noticed yellow patches on your lawn? This is probably an attack by crane flies (Tipula paludosa and Tipula oleracea), commonly called “daddy longlegs”.

SC strain for effective lawn treatment

The product you received contains nematodes of the Steinernema carpocapsae (SC) strain. This strain is specially formulated to fight crane fly larvae, responsible for the yellow spots visible on your lawn. SC nematodes are highly effective at protecting grass roots and maintaining the health of your lawn by quickly treating damaged areas.

Damage caused by crane flies

The larvae attack grass roots, especially in maintained and damp lawns. The areas then turn yellow and gradually die off. It is not uncommon to see the soil turned over in these spots, or predators such as hedgehogs digging in the ground in search of larvae.

Instructions for use

  • Order your nematodes according to the surface area to be treated
  • Dilute the sachet in 5 L and mix for 3 minutes
  • Top up with the required amount of water (use, for example, a bin or a water butt)
  • Apply the preparation using a watering can with a rose
  • Stir the preparation regularly
  • Do not leave the nematodes in the water for more than 30 minutes
  • Treat preferably in the morning or evening (out of UV light)
  • Keep your lawn moist for 1 week after treatment to facilitate the movement of nematodes in the soil
  • It is recommended to use your nematodes upon receiving the parcel (the same evening or the next day)
  • This product is alive, so it cannot be ordered in advance and stored
