What the professional says:

“Use Nemasys® Leatherjacket Killer to deal with infestation in lawns. When you see adult daddy-long-legs in your garden (towards the end of August through to the end of October) you will know that in a few days they will be laying eggs. These will hatch quickly; therefore aim to apply two weeks after you see the adults – this when the young leatherjackets are active in the soil. Make sure the lawn does not dry out after applying nematodes. Keep the lawn well watered for at least two weeks. In instances where a severe LeatherJacket infestation is present, multiple treatments over an extended period (spring and autumn) may be required.”

Frequently Asked Questions

When to apply?

Apply to moist lawns and the soil temperature is above 12ºC which is typically late August through to the end of October. Immediately after application, water the grass well, this is vital to ensure the nematodes are washed down through the sward to reach the roots to where the Leatherjacket are.

How does LeatherJacket Killer work?

The nematodes (Steinernema feltiae), seek out the leatherjackets and attack the pest by entering natural body openings. Once inside, they release bacteria that stops the pest from feeding, quickly killing the pest. The nematodes then reproduce inside the dead pest and release a new generation of hungry infective nematodes, which disperse and search for further prey. Maintaining moisture levels extends this reproductive period.

How to apply?

Nemasys® products are easy to use. Simply mix the harmless powder with water & apply to the soil around the plant using a WATERING CAN fitted with a rose, we recommend the Hawes Rose no.14 as not all roses are suitable or a hose-end feeder.
