Biological Control of Chafer Grub - 2 pack sizes

Damaging chafer larvae can be naturally controlled by using the beneficial nematodes in Nemasys G.

The Nemasys G nematodes enter the larvae and stops them feeding within three days of infection. The larvae then die within 10-14 days. 

The nematodes complete their life-cycle within the larvae, then enter the soil seeking more hosts, and so the pest control continues naturally.

2 pack sizes are available to choose from:

50 million nematodes covering 100m²
250 million nematodes covering 500m²
