nemasys chafer grub killer 100 sqm

I was sceptical about the likely success of this having tried a range of other approaches (e.g Sonics, chilli, pepper, scarecrows). Although I thought it costly, I was pleasantly surprised to see that within 3 weeks of watering this in, the degree of destruction by Badgers had all but disappeared. The main culprits are a decreasing number of squirrels/foxes making much smaller 'nose sized' holes. These are easily pushed/stamped back into place. The lawn is slowly picking up and I have reseeded it. So now I'm just battling with the birds who think the seeds are their treats! I highly recommend Nemesys, as it actually WORKS. See before/after pictures just 3 weeks later. There was enough for my 100sqm garden. I'm delighted and will repeat at the end of the year. Worth the money.

I had a massive issue with birds digging over the lawn. A quick internet search suggested the chafer grub as a culprit. I dug out a few and this confirmed the infestation. Nemasys' chafer grub killer is a life product and needs cool storage. I used it after just a few days well before the expiry date in late March and the chafer grubs appear to have disappeared. I started reseeding after about 6 weeks of application and the lawn in this patch looks healthy. I followed the instructions and concentrated at the marginal areas of the affected patch. One thing to note is that I found it hard to disperse the product effectively with my plastic watering can as the water holes got blocked off too easily. It remains to be seen if the grubs stay away but I am happy to retreat at the first signs of further infestation. Given that there is very little alternative for this nuisance I would wholeheartedly recommend it.

I liked that the Chaffer grubs could be sprayed on the lawn using a lawn feeder although I have now used two orders and you learn from each. First was don't use it in cold weather - there were late frosts so I think that marginalised the effect. The second I hadn't noticed that the lawn feeder seem to only draw a small amount of the Nematodes with the spray and after spraying the lawn - possibly 150 sq yards several times the cannister was still thick with Nematodes - that I saw as I emptied the pot on a small area of turf after about 15 minutes of watering.. I'll turn it upside down in future which gives a richer feed.

I ordered this package based upon it targets the problem, chafer grubs, it was available within a reasonable period of a weather window and, positive reviews. The package is a small cardboard sleeve with external instructions and a sealed plastic tray with a peelable clear film seal. The contents are a very fine, sandy-coloured powder-like substance which may have settled when stored. An important part of preparation is having the wide-holed rose, watering-can of 5 litre (minimum) capacity. A 0.5 litre measuring jug,or similar also helps with the standard dosing. When preparing to treat a lawn, ensure that the turf is either secure (unharmed by the pest) or loose and rake the surface to remove the loose turf; which may also expose the grubs. This is helpful as the grubs eat the roots and loose the bond that binds good turf to the subsoil by eating the deep roots. Application on wet, damp or during rainfall means the product gains mobility to reach the target grubs. As it takes 2 weeks to ascertain minimum effectiveness, I will also lookout for further turf damage by feeding crows/magpies/avian predators to see if they can detect sub-surface grub movement.

What i am most impressed of is what a wonderful job the small pack of millions of the of the nemasys chafer grub killer can do i have used this and never had bad patches on my lawn it is dear but take it from me it does a wonderful job i was watching the crane flies come down has it prepared there death bed a top brand.

If your experience is like mine I wouldn't waste your money the product is in my experience ineffective and useless. Spent just short of £60 at the beginning of Sept and applied immediately upon receipt a few days later, obeying the instructions strictly and to the letter. After seven weeks I thought I would inspect the turf, having no confidence, because the Crows were at this point having a field day digging up the ground . My lack of confidence was confirmed. I filled a 2lb jam jar of very much alive grubs in a very short space of time. Now faced with having to dig up the lawn and start again with new turf. Would have given no stars but the minimum allowed for submission is one.

The real test will be if the bedgers return to eat the chafer grubs that lie beneath it and in doing so rotivate our lawn as they did last autumn. The instructions were very clear and easy to follow. The watering can rose suggested as an additional purchase was unsuitable and flimsy and continually blocked.

Yes I have said this before. Nematodes are not a chemical but a living worm. When you buy this product it has to be used fairly soon and kept cool until you do. Furthermore this particular worm is meant to attack and destroy the chafer bugs that cause damage to the grass root of the lawn. This means that the product can only be effective when used around this time of the year because that is the only time that the chafer grub is near the surface. The grubs themselves are easily recognisable as they are white with a bit of brown on the head. This product is intended mainly for use on lawns but there is no reason for not putting it on the garden as the worms will still do their work. Additionally the ground needs to be kept fairly wet for a few days after use otherwise the worms won't survive. Last year my lawn was devastated. I used this product the. And this year I have had no trouble. Regards. Hamilton Blade
