Do you have dead patches of grass? Critters (skunks, raccoons) digging up your lawn?  Do you see grubs in your garden?

Lawn grubs are the larval stage of June bugs, Japanese Beetles, European Chafer, Craneflies, etc.  Nematodes are living organisms—natural parasites which are microscopic worms that occur naturally in the soil. Nematodes kill off grubs. It is 100% safe for people, pets, plants and earthworms.

Grubs start feeding on your lawn in April and then again in August.  Application of the Nematodes are generally done in May or when the soil temperature is 10°C or higher. A second application should be applied in the fall (between August to October) to eliminate new grubs that may have hatched in the summer.

Nematodes generally control over 250 insect pests.

Most Nematodes are applied as follows:

  • Nematodes are susceptible to the UV rays. Do not apply in direct sunlight (in the evening or on cloudy days are best).
  • Water the lawn deeply (its best when it’s raining). Nematodes move easier through the soil when it’s moist.
  • Keep your lawn moist for 10 days after application.

Nematodes have a cycle.  We recommend that you do three applications as follows to get rid of your grubs:

  • 1st application = May or June
  • 2nd application= August or September or October
  • 3rd application = Following year in May or June
