Chase away ants from unwanted areas. These beneficial nematodes can be applied to ant nests around paving, walls, plant pots or turf and open soil. These easy to apply beneficial nematodes are simply mixed in water and applied to the entrances of ant nests you want to remove. The nematodes are washed into the nest irritating the ants and forcing them to relocate their nest. One pack treats 10 square meters of soil or 10 nests.

When is best to use?

For use when soil temperatures are above 10°C.

The problem: Ants are annoying. There are many different species of ants, some can bite and sting, but mostly they are simply a problem because they are irritating to have around. Living in underground nests consisting of lots of tunnels, until disturbed they are often unnoticed. Nests are frequently found when soil, paving or walls is disturbed.

Ants can also be a problem by eating freshly sown small seeds or allowing aphids to thrive on fruit by protecting them from predators.

The product: Beneficial nematodes are naturally occurring micro-scopic worms and predators of ants. Colonies of ants will not tolerate these predators in their nests. Social insects, such as ants, constantly clean nest areas removing predators and parasites. However, if the number of predators becomes too high they move their nest. Drenching a nest with MightyNem No Ants introduces a high number of nematodes to a nest forcing the ants to move.
