Leatherjackets: Control with 5 Million Parasitic Nematodes

Keeping your garden free of leatherjacketsLeatherjackets: Control with Parasitic Nematodes (Stein F) Leatherjackets feed on grass roots from September through to the following summer. They are the legless greyish brown larvae of the crane fly (daddy long legs). They pupate in the summer and adults emerge, sometimes in huge numbers, in August ready to lay eggs again. The larvae weaken the lawn which can then be pulled up by birds feeding on the larvae. Control with Parasitic Nematodes (Steinernema Feltiae): a microscopic transparent worm that feeds and multiplies within the larva. Apply mid-September to a well-watered lawn. Best applied in the evening or on a dull day, soil temperature must be at least 10?C. Treatment can be repeated in the spring with severe infestations.Having trouble with garden pests?
