What has three pairs of legs and is definitely creepy? Ants. And you definitely don’t want them around. But you don’t want to use chemical pesticides to get rid of them. Then ANT OUT Nematodes are just what you're looking for. These naturally-occurring microscopic worms kill young ant larvae and prevent adult ants from building new nests in treated areas. So enjoy your lawn and garden, secure in the knowledge that what you’ve used to get rid of pesky ants poses absolutely no threat to humans, pets, plants or the environment.

Apply when ant activity is visible on lawn or on garden borders, generally from March through October.

With Wilson Nematode Sprayer

Step 1
Remove sprayer lid.

Step 2
Open nematodes globe and place the pouches in the sprayer. To avoid clogging the sprayer, do not tear or open the pouches when placing into the sprayer.

Step 3
Activate nematodes by adding about 2.5 cm (1 in) of warm water in the sprayer. Activated nematodes are sufficiently small so that they will pass through the mesh of the pouches.

Step 4
Add room temperature water to fill sprayer bottle.

Step 5
Fasten lid securely and shake vigorously to evenly disperse nematodes.

Step 6
Attach garden hose to sprayer and turn valve to “Mix” position to begin spraying.

Step 7
Start spraying ant hills first and keep spraying complete spraying outwards to provide total nematode coverage. Agitate spraying solution often during application because nematodes are heavier than water and will sink to the bottom of the bottle.

Step 8
Keep lawn moist for the next 3 days (or 1 week in dry weather) to ensure nematodes are flushed down into the root zone where feeding larvae are present.


Treatment must only be repeated after 7 days if pest problem persists or reoccurs.



Tips

Nematodes are a live species and should be used as soon as possible.
