A pro-active preventative approach to controlling chafer grubs in turf is required. </p> <p>There is one application window in the pests life cycle suitable for applying a <span> <span>garden </span> </span>chafer grub treatment. </p> <p>The application window is during the late summer/autumn, from the <strong> middle of July to the middle of October </strong>. </p> <div> <p> <strong> <span> <span>Cockchafers </span> </span> </strong> <span> <span> can also be treated using </span> <span>Sportnem </span> <span>-H. The larvae are only susceptible to treatment </span> <span>from </span> </span> <span> <span>mid-June until the end of August </span> </span> <span> <span>. </span> </span> <span> </span> </p> </div> <p> The graphic below is designed to inform the user as to the life stage of the organism throughout the year. </p> <p> <br> </p> <p>The <strong>mid-July to mid-October </strong>application window coincides with the larvae being at a young and susceptible life stage and the soil being a suitable temperature to support a good level of nematode activity. </p> <p>Once soil temperatures rise again in the following spring the larvae will have grown to a stage where effective control of any type is significantly reduced. This means that a pro-active preventative approach to controlling chafer larvae in turf areas is required. </p> <p>By treating with <strong>Sportnem-H Chafer Grub Killer </strong> within the mid-July to mid-October application window, direct damage from the grubs and indirect damage from predators hunting for them in the following spring and summer is avoided. The nematodes work in the soil by seeking out the chafer beetle larvae and attack the pest by entering natural body openings. Once inside, they release bacteria (Photorhabdus spp.) that stops the pest from feeding, quickly killing the grub. </p> <p>The nematodes then reproduce inside the dead grub and release a new generation of infective juvenile nematodes. These infective juveniles then disperse into the soil and search for further prey. If sustained this life cycle can lead to significantly reduced chafer grub populations in subsequent years. </p> <p> Sportnem-H Chafer Grub</p>
