"Kitchen Gardeners will be pleased to learn that the dreaded cabbage white caterpillar and codling moths that attack fruit trees can be controlled by a new biological control containing nematodes. Commercial growers have been successfully using the nematode Steinernema Carpocapse for some years but now it is available to everyone. The nematodes are applied directly to the cabbages and other brassicas as a wash. Three applications are used as soon as you see the pest to kill caterpillars that will hatch over a period of time. Company spokesperson and allotment holder, Sue Hinton said "I was amazed with results when I used it. After the first application most of the caterpillars disappeared but you need to use a further two applications five days or a week after each other to ensure all hatchings are killed. The solution needs to be applied to all leaf surfaces and you need to make sure that you spray the pest. Pests not directly sprayed will not be controlled so make sure that you hit them!" For codling moths, the nematodes are used to control the overwintering pupae on trees and in the ground from September. The nematodes are applied with a sprayer during the evenings or on dull days. Nemasys Codling Moth and Caterpillar Killer is a natural product and safe to use on food crops and is harmless to children, pets and wildlife."

Which?
magazine's 'On Test: Vine Weevil Treatment, (July/August 2009) indicated:
70% of our triallists found no trace of vine weevil grubs in the soil or compost they'd treated the previous September... Of the 14 triallists who did find grubs, all but one said at least some of the plants they'd treated were grub-free which persuaded most to conclude it had worked to some extent. Taking cost into account 40 of the 46 triallists would buy it.

Nemasys Chafer Grub Killer
Nemasys Chafer Grub Killer
£29.25
Chafer grubs can decimate a lawn, and birds and large animals such as foxes and badgers will stop at nothing to dig them up and cause even more damage. The nematode (heterorhabditis megidis) in Nemasys Chafer Grub Killer should be applied during August and September while the young chafer grubs are active.
• Apply the nematode Heterorhabditis Megidis, during August and September when young grubs are active
• Treats up to 100 sq. metres
Application Advice
Full details of how to apply the nematodes are provided with the product but we can't stress how important it is to keep the soil moist after application. Failure to do so will severely reduce the effectiveness of the nematodes and they may even die. Ensure you water the soil or lawn immediately after application and keep damp for at least the next two weeks.
As this product has a very definite application window (when the young chafer grubs are most active), we refrain from supplying this product outside of these times when it is unlikely to prove effective.
