Lawn flea and flea beetle nematodes tackle both fleas and flea beetles, that can cause havoc on your lawn and plants. This nematode mix, featuring Steinernema nematodes, covers up to 50 sqm.

There are 2 treatments included for an area of 25 sqm,  the second treatment should be applied 5 to 7 days following the initial application to stop new emerging larvae. 

Fleas get onto pets and people and can quite often be carried indoors, causing a broader problem in the home.

Adult flea beetles are 2/3mm long, black, blue, or occasionally green with a metallic sheen. They can jump off the leaf when disturbed. Larvae found in lawns or topsoil are white with a brown head, measuring approximately 2.5mm.

Look for small holes in the upper leaves of brassicas and various ornamentals, surrounded by pale brown scar tissue. Adult flea beetles cause the most damage by creating shallow pits and small rounded, irregular holes in leaves.

Store nematodes in the fridge or below 5 degrees and use before expiry date on the package.

For optimal effectiveness, apply in the evening, during overcast conditions, or when rainfall is expected. Keep the soil moist for three to four weeks after application.

Contains 2 treatments for a 25 sq,m area

How To Use

Closely mow lawns, trim bushes and remove weeds before treatment. 1. Make a stock solution by emptying one sachet into 2L of water and stir continuously. Once mixed this solution needs to be used within 4 hours. 2. Take 1L of the stock solution and pour into a separate bucket and mix with 3L of water stirring continuously. 3. Move the 4L solution from the bucket into a watering can. One watering can will treat 12.5m2. 4. Repeat this process until all the stock solution has been used then water the treated area with the watering can or a hose pipe. One nematode sachet is suitable for one treatment – repeat second treatment after 5/7 days
