Nemasys 'No Ants' Nematode is the perfect way to treat areas plagued by red and black ants. One application will provide control for black and red ant nests already present in the soil. This pack contains a single application of nematodes to treat 16 ants nests. For best results apply between early April and late September when soil temperature is above 10°C (50°F).
You should store your nematodes in the fridge and use the whole packet in one go.
The use by date is printed on the packet.
Unlike the rest of the Nemasys range these nematodes do not kill the ants. However, the ants do not like the presence of nematodes in the soil and move their nests some distance away, out of the garden.
• One application will provide control for black and red ant nests already present in the soil. • Use when ant activity is visible on top of the soil. • Use between April and September when soil temperature is above 10°C (50°F). • Cut the grass prior to application to ensure that all the nematodes reach the nests. • Ground must be moist before application. • It is important to keep the soil moist for at least 2 weeks. • Avoid applications in bright sunlight, apply during evening or dull conditions. • Use entire packet at one time and do not store made up solution.

The summer holidays are a time for being outdoors, unfortunately there are two insects, which can impair our enjoyment of being outside in the summer; Wasps and Flies! Wasps can be viewed as beneficial insects early in the summer, as they use some pests like caterpillars to feed their nests. However once the colony is fed later in the summer the workers become scavengers, this is when they target picnics, BBQs and pub gardens.
Harrod Horticultural now offers a cost effective, natural solution to this problem. The Harrod Wasp trap uses a natural attractant to lure wasps into a trap, once inside they run out of energy and die. By placing the trap just away from your eating and drinking area, wasps are diverted to the traps and not your food and drink! The unique natural attractant helps the trap catch high numbers of wasps but does not attract beneficial insects like Bees. The trap can be re-used many times and replacement attractant purchased.
Flies are another pest that builds up in the summer, especially in hot weather. They are very annoying and can spread disease. The Fli trap provides an effective method of catching high numbers of flies. The Fli trap is especially useful in equestrian settings where fly numbers can build up to extreme levels.The trap uses a natural bait to lure flies into the trap removing many hundreds of flies from the surrounding area. Simply add water to the bait and hang up the trap outdoors, within a few days the trap will be full of flies. The trap can be re-used many times and two baits are supplied with each trap.
