Take back control of your garden with ant nematodes an effective, chemical-free solution for ant infestations in lawns, patios, and flower beds. These microscopic, beneficial organisms (Steinernema feltiae) target and disrupt ant colonies beneath the surface, making your outdoor space less inviting to nesting ants. How Ant Nematodes Work to Eliminate Ant Colonies Ants do not tolerate the presence of nematodes near their nests and will relocate when nematodes are applied. This natural reaction helps remove ant colonies from your garden without toxic chemicals. Easy Application: How to Apply Ant Nematodes The nematodes come with full instructions and can be easily applied using a watering can, garden sprayer, or nematode applicator. Simply apply to moist soil when temperatures are above 5ºC (41ºF), and ensure the area remains damp for at least two weeks to support nematode activity. Cold Tolerant and Safe for Use Nematodes are resilient and can survive occasional frost, so you don’t need to worry if temperatures dip slightly after application. Your lawn or garden is safe to use immediately after applying nematodes—no waiting required. Best Times to Use Ant Nematodes for Optimal Results For the most effective control, apply nematodes in spring or summer, or at the first sign of ant activity. Each pack treats up to 16 nests or 16 square meters of soil. Learn More About Nematodes and Natural Ant Control Want to understand more about how nematodes work?
