Heterorhabditis Bacteriophora against Grubs

Grubs are the larvae of beetles such as the cockchafer, June beetle and rose beetle. These larvae live in the soil and cause considerable damage by eating the roots of grass and plants. This leads to bare patches in the lawn and weakened plants that are easily susceptible to diseases. To protect your garden, it is important to combat grubs effectively and in an environmentally friendly way.

What are nematodes against grubs?

Nematodes, such as Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, are microscopic worms that are used against grubs. These nematodes enter the grubs through natural openings and secrete bacteria that fatally infect the larvae. Within a few days, the grubs die, allowing your lawn or garden to recover quickly and remain protected.

Benefits of nematodes against grubs

• 100% organic: Nematodes are safe for the environment, pets and beneficial insects such as earthworms and bees.
• Targeted action: Nematodes only infect the grubs without harming other beneficial organisms.
• Fast acting: You will see results within a few days, because the grubs die quickly.
• Easy to apply: Nematodes can easily be mixed with water and spread over the affected area.

How do nematodes work against grubs?

The nematodes actively search for grubs in the soil. As soon as the nematodes enter a grub, they release bacteria that fatally infect the larva. Within a few days, the larva dies, and the nematodes multiply in the dead grub to attack other grubs. This biological process causes a rapid decline in the grub population.

When do you use nematodes against grubs?

The best time to use nematodes against grubs is from April to October, when the soil temperature is at least 12°C. The grubs are particularly active and susceptible to the nematodes in spring and late summer. By treating in time, you can prevent serious damage to your lawn and plants.

Application of nematodes against grubs

Mix the nematodes with water according to the instructions on the packaging and apply the mixture with a watering can or sprayer to the affected areas in your garden. Make sure that the soil remains moist after the treatment, so that the nematodes can spread well and do their work optimally. Nematodes are sensitive to UV light, so preferably carry out the treatment in the evening or on a cloudy day.

Safe for humans, animals and the environment

Nematodes are a completely biological and safe solution for combating grubs. They do not pose any danger to people, pets or other beneficial animals. This makes nematodes an environmentally friendly and effective alternative to chemical pesticides.
