Leatherjackets - The lawn-wrecking larvae of the daddy longlegs or cranefly, known as leatherjackets, are brown/grey caterpillar-like larvae are capable of ruining your lovely green lawn in no time as they greedily feed on the grass roots, causing brown patches of dead grass to develop. And if that’s not bad enough, birds and animals attracted by the juicy grubs below ground will rip up what remains of your lawn to get at the leatherjackets!
To the rescue come the nematodes contained in our completely organic Leatherjacket Killer; when applied directly to the soil, the nematodes head straight for the juicy grubs and enter the body through any pore or opening. The bacteria they spread put a swift end to grass-destroying activities and also saves your wallet from a beating – try comparing the cost of a packet of our Leatherjacket Killer nematodes to that of relaying an entire lawn!

Nemasys Leatherjacket Killer |
 |
from £16.95
|
From the renowned range of Nemasys natural pest control comes Nemasys Leatherjacket Killer - and you'll need it if your lawn has developed brown patches and the grass has little root growth as the chances are you’ve got leatherjackets (the larvae of the cranefly or daddy longlegs).
The prolific lawn pest is hunted down and killed by the nematode steinernema feltiae contained in Nemasys Leatherjacket Killer but there is only a small window of opportunity to prevent this very-expensive-to-repair lawn damage; Nemasys Leatherjacket Killer applications should be made 1 - 2 weeks after the first craneflies have been spotted from late August onwards. An earlier treatment of Nemasys Leatherjacket Killer can be made in spring as long as soil temperatures are in excess of 10ºC but this application, although occasionally successful, is not as productive as the typical autumn dose.
Please Note: this item will be despatched at the optimum time for application which will now be from 20th August 2012. This live product is despatched to UK addresses only! |
