As more and more chemicals are taken off the shelves we have to start looking for other ways to control our garden pest, and the best and most environmentally friendly way to do this is by using Nematodes.
Although aphids, slugs and caterpillars still have chemical controls, vine weevils, chafer grubs and and leatherjackets can now only be contolled by Nematodes.
Nematodes are a host specific parasite, so they will not affect anything else in the garden. They have to be used when the ground is warm enough for them to flourish. You can start using them from April onwards.
You can order and pay for Nematodes at Reception and they will be posted to your home address, at the appropriate time, with details of how to correctly store them.
Nematodes are easy to apply, by watering or spraying them into the affected area.
Nematodes are available for slugs, snails, ants, vine weevils, leatherjackets and chafer grubs.
