Control cockchafer grubs in the garden biologically
Cockchafers can cause considerable damage in the garden, especially at the larval stage. The so-called grubs live in the soil for several years and feed on plant roots. Lawns, vegetables, berry bushes, perennials and woody plants in particular can be badly damaged as a result.
With nema-green® cockchafer grubs can be controlled specifically and biologically. The nematodes it contains actively seek out the grubs in the soil and attack them – entirely without chemical insecticides.
Control cockchafers biologically: nema-green®
With live nematodes against harmful grubs in the soil.
Ideal for garden and lawn: for use on lawns, in beds and other affected garden areas. Safe for people & pets
Nematodes enable biological pest control without chemical insecticides. Easy to apply: mix with water and distribute evenly over the affected area.
Controlling cockchafers with nematodes – how it works
The greatest damage is caused not by the adult cockchafers but by their larvae. The grubs, which grow up to 5–7 cm long, live in the soil and feed on the roots of various plants. This can weaken plants or cause them to die off completely.
The nematodes in nema-green® move actively through the moist soil to the cockchafer grubs, enter them and kill them. The key to success is applying the nematodes at the right development stage of the cockchafer larvae.
Applying nema-green® against cockchafers
The product is applied directly to the soil:
- Water the soil before treatment if it is dry.
- Mix the nematodes with water according to the package instructions.
- Apply the solution evenly with a watering can or a suitable spraying system.
- Keep the soil sufficiently moist afterwards.
- Avoid strong UV radiation during application.
Are nematodes against cockchafers dangerous?
No. The nematodes used for biological pest control pose no danger to people or pets. They enable targeted control of the grubs without chemical insecticides.
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.
