Beneficial Nematodes - Natural Lawn Grub Control
Garden Tip – Natural Lawn Grub Control
Are grubs being a pain in your lawn? If skunks or raccoons are digging up your lawn, it is a sure sign you have white grubs. Beneficial nematodes are small microscopic worms that infest pest larva in the soil. Lawn Guardian is a mix of two nematodes that attack grubs close to the surface as well as down deeper in the soil.
Nemetodes can be applied in the spring when the soil temperature is 13C or warmer. Nemetodes lay their eggs in the grubs. As the nematode larva grows, it eats the white grub and kills it. Lawn Guardian is easy to apply, simply mix with water and apply to infested areas (kits come with complete instructions).
This natural insect control is non-toxic, safe for people, pets, plants, earthworms and beneficial insects.
Treat your lawn with nematodes to prevent grubs from becoming beetles that will fly and lay eggs for more grubs. Treatment should be repeated in August or September to eliminate a second infestation
Lawn Guardian Kits are available now at the Dufferin Garden Centre
