Effect of nematodes against leatherjackets, cutworms and mole crickets

Leatherjacket larvae (Tipula paludosa) can cause extensive damage to lawn roots through their massive feeding activities. Nematodes of the species Steinernema carpocapsae are the natural enemies of the Tipula larvae and can be used for their biological control. The nematodes search the soil for the larvae, penetrate them and kill them. Inside the dead larvae, the nematodes multiply and go in search of other pests. nemastar® can also be used against cutworms and mole crickets, which can also cause major damage to beds and lawns. The optimum application time for nemastar® depends on the pest you want to control. If you are not sure which pest you are dealing with, you can use our free and non-binding identification service.


Recommended application times:

Mole crickets: April to September

Cutworms: June to August

Leatherjackets: September to mid-October (soil temperature at least 12 °C)

Application of nemastar®

The nematodes are most effective when they reach the pests in their most susceptible phases of the development cycle. The nematodes are simply mixed with water according to the instructions on the inside of the packaging and applied to the affected areas using a watering can or Nema sprayer. Nematodes require moisture and are sensitive to UV radiation, which is why we recommend application in overcast and humid weather conditions. If the soil is dry, we recommend pre-watering to allow the nematodes to penetrate the soil as effectively as possible.

Frequently asked questions



What are nematodes?

Nematodes are small threadworms with a length of approx. 0.5 millimetres. Some nematode species are entomopathogenic, which means that they can parasitise and kill insects. Nematode genera with these properties include Steinernema and Heterohabditis, which we use in our products.
