How can nematodes help control ants in the garden?
Nematodes, specifically the parasitic species Steinernema feltiae, offer a natural and non-chemical solution for managing black, red, and yellow ants in your garden. These tiny worms target ants without disrupting the overall ecosystem of your lawn. Here’s how to use them effectively:
When should I apply the nematodes?
Apply nematodes between late spring and early autumn or when the ground temperature is above 10°C (50°F).
How do I apply them?
Mix the nematodes well according to the instructions on the packaging. Locate the centre of the ant nest and directly apply the nematodes using a handheld sprayer or a watering can.
If it’s not raining, irrigate the treated area afterwards to keep the soil damp for at least two weeks.
Full instructions are also on the back of the packet.
Are they Pet and child safe?
Nematodes are safe for children, pets, and wildlife.
What area do they cover?
One packet covers 12ssq.m or you can choose 100Sqm.
How should I store the nematodes?
Keep nematodes refrigerated until use.
When is the best time to apply them?
The best time to apply them is Feb/March - October.
What area does it cover?
One packet treats 40Sq.m.
What temperature should I apply them?
Apply the nematodes to the soil when the temperature is above 5 degrees and ensure the soil doesn't try out for the following two weeks after you've applied the nematodes.
