Leatherjacket Killer nematode treatment (200 sqm)

Our original garden garden lawn (pic 1) was absolutely destroyed by leatherjackets this spring with hardly a leaf of grass to be seen (pic 2) not being great gardeners we didn't have a clue what the problem was until we read about crane fly larvae (leatherjackets) so bought some Nemasys Nematode Treatment from Gardening Naturally divided the lawn are into 9 sections and followed the advice of how much water to mix the nematodes in and how much of the mixture each area was to have - left the nematodes to do their work over a 3 week period and then spread grass seeds and netted the area (with some bird scarer tape to frighten off the magpies) after just one week we now have new shoots and regrowth - obviously the lawn is nowhere near fully recovered but I am confident that the nematodes have done a great job and will continue to do so as the new lawn takes root

Applied this stuff on my large lawn, bought 2 packets, using the hose attachment applicator I bought from Amazon. I was advised to use this as leather jackets thrive where I live, so I guess I won’t know til next year if this has helped my lawn, but so far it looks fine. Store in a fridge if not using immediately and try to use as soon as possible.

Arrived the next day needs to be placed in the fridge until you need to use it I bought the spray bag though the first time I used it with a watering can which seemed hard work ..... due to using this in April mu lawn operative told me to double the doesage as leather jackets will be mature and their outed casings harder so used one packet to l litre of water I was able to treat approximately 40 -50 metre square with this with the hose attachment....last year this stopped the leather jackets from munching the way through my neighbours lawn they attacked .so this year instead of paying £100 for my lawncare company to treat I've done this myself

Great product. Worked really well on my grass. Images are about 4 weeks apart. Very easy to use and will order again.

Does what it’s supposed to do but expensive

I used this in the hot weather but the ground was hard so not that effective. I still getting bare patches on the lawn so will need further treatment now the ground is soft

Ok product has helped me make my lawn look better

This product is meant to kill off leatherjackets that eat away at grass roots. It should be applied in Septmber just as dragonflies emerge from lawns. The idea is to kill leatherjackets and their eggs that remain in the lawn, thus providing a clear lawn for when the spring weather comes. This product failed to kill the leatherjackets and over the winter, and they have been feasting on the grass roots making the lawn surface barren. I contacted the supplier, Green Gardener, requesting either my money back or replacements products. HE DID'NT want to know. All he said was buy some more. What's the point if the product does not work!?
