Nematodes Terranem
The beneficial Terranem predatory nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora is the most aggressive species in hunting down and killing thick skinned soil grubs, including the larvae of the European chafer, Japanese beetle, Black Vine Weevil, May and June beetles, and the Asiatic Garden beetle. This nematode is also the best biological control for wireworms, which are the larval stage for the click beetles of the family Elateridae. One package of Terranem contains 50 million nematodes, and comes with complete instructions for application. Coverage of up to 230 sq meters (2,500 ft sq).
Apply in early summer to combat wireworms and weevils. Apply late July/early August to combat next year's European chafer beetle. Apply late summer in combination with Capsanem for further protection. Applying Terranem once, and then 28 days later is thought to be more effective against wireworm infestation. Outdoor temperature must be at least 14°C for Terranem to be effective.
Advance orders appreciated. Shipping begins mid June weather permitting.
