Leatherjacket Nematodes - 500sq.m - Yellow

Yes, this biological treatment is entirely safe for pets and children as it uses natural microscopic organisms rather than toxic chemicals.

The most effective time is from late August through October when larvae are active, though spring is also a viable window.

The product should be used within two weeks of arrival to ensure the nematodes remain viable.

While targeted at leatherjackets in grass, it is a biological product safe for general soil use, though it is specifically optimized for lawn protection.

A standard watering can is usually sufficient, though a nematode applicator for hoses can make the process easier for very large lawns.

Nematodes work by infecting the larvae; you should notice a reduction in new lawn damage within a few weeks as the current larvae population is controlled.

Check if the soil was kept moist enough after application. Nematodes need a damp environment to survive and move.

Place in the refrigerator immediately. While shipping can sometimes fluctuate in temperature, get them to a cool, stable environment as soon as possible.
