{"product_id":"nemasys-no-ants","title":"Nemasys No Ants","description":"\u003cp\u003eAnt nematodes are native, naturally occurring microscopic worms which cause the ants to relocate their nest to an alternative location away from the area treated. The Nematodes \u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e(Steinernema feltiae)\u003c\/i\u003e are applied directly into the nest using a watering can. Ideal for controlling ant nests in grassed areas such as lawns and planted borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlease note: there is a two week turnaround for delivery on this product.

Ants are not killed by Nemasys No Ants, but leave the area that has been treated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow far away the ants will move their nests is very difficult to determine as it is dependent upon many factors such as soil structure, moisture content and weather conditions. However, it is usually far enough to solve the problem in the area targeted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNemasys No Ants ant nematodes are safe to use on turf or soil without any of the precautions associated with chemical use. People and animals can be allowed on the area immediately after treatment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen there are signs of ant activity, apply Nemasys No Ants directly on to the nests.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNemasys No Ants should be applied to moist turf or soil. If applying in hot weather it is better to wait till later in the day when the ground won’t dry out so quickly. Water well after application and keep well watered for at least two weeks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe ant nematodes are supplied as a powder which will keep for up to 2 weeks in a refrigerator and should be used in one go once opened.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimply repeat as often as is needed to keep the area free of ants - it is impossible to overdose.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotally safe to use near food crops.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach large pack will treat up to 50 nests.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePeriods of Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the ant nematodes are a cure rather than a preventative measure, DO NOT apply the nematodes until ants are present and the soil is 10°C.
