How to apply nematodes against box tree moths
As soon as the first caterpillars become visible, the nematodes should be applied. Mix the nematodes with water and the wetting agent supplied, then spray directly onto the affected box plants.
For best results we recommend:
- Applying in the evening
- Wetting caterpillars and webbing directly
- Moist plant surfaces; repeat after 3 to 7 days in case of heavier infestation
How do nematodes work against box tree moths?
The nematodes enter the caterpillars through natural body openings and release symbiotic bacteria there. As a result, the pests die within a few days.The nematodes then multiply inside the caterpillars and can go on to attack further pests. This supports a sustainable reduction of the infestation.
Safe and effective
Nematodes are the natural solution against fungus gnats. The tiny roundworms control the larvae completely biologically and effectively. No chemicals, no side effects.
