Control summer chafers and grubs in the lawn biologically
Brown and dried-out patches in the lawn can indicate an infestation with summer chafer grubs. The larvae of the summer chafer live in the soil and feed on grass roots. In the case of a heavy infestation, the turf loses its hold and can sometimes be lifted easily from the ground.
Control summer chafer grubs biologically: nema-green®
With nema-green® and the nematodes of the species Heterorhabditis bacteriophora it contains, summer chafer grubs can be controlled biologically and specifically.
Control summer chafers biologically
Nematodes attack the grubs directly in the soil.
- Ideal for lawns: suitable for private lawns, green spaces and other infested areas.
- Safe for people & pets: biological pest control without chemical insecticides.
- Easy application: mix the nematodes with water and distribute evenly over the lawn.
Controlling summer chafers with nematodes – how it works
The summer chafer (Amphimallon solstitiale) flies mainly at dusk in June. However, the greater damage is caused by its larvae in the soil.
The grubs feed on the grass roots, impairing the supply of water and nutrients. Typical consequences are brown, dry patches and loose turf. In addition, birds and other animals can damage the lawn further while searching for grubs.
Applying nema-green®
Water the affected lawn area sufficiently before application. Mix the nematodes with water according to the package instructions. Distribute the solution evenly over the area. Keep the soil moist after treatment. Apply on an overcast day or in the evening if possible. The recommended period for controlling summer chafer grubs is mainly August and September.
Are nematodes against summer chafers dangerous?
No. The nematodes used enable biological control of the grubs and are harmless to people and pets.
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.
