Stop Frit Flies bothering you and their larvae destroying your lawn by treating with Nemasys F&V Nematodes in the Spring / Summer / Autumn to target the larval stage of the pest. The adult fly is a small, black, shiny fly about 2mm long. The larvae are white to translucent in colour, about 4mm long, which borrow into the grass blades. As more of the grass is destroyed, the grass turns yellow before dying off. Often swarms of small black flies can be seen hovering over the surface of the lawn in summer. There are normally 3 generations a year – the 1st flies emerge in May, the 2nd generation emerges in July with the third emerging in August / Sept. The larvae feed in between these emergences with the third generation of larvae feeding slowly through the winter ready to emerge the following Spring. Control Frit Fly Larvae by applying Frit Fly Nematodes when the larvae are present i.e. 4 weeks after the flies appear. The Frit Fly Nematodes consists of 2 PACKS – each pack treats 30 sqm and should be applied TWICE at fortnightly intervals – use one pack straight away and pop the other in the fridge. Then repeat the treatment 2 weeks later using the 2nd pack. N.B. Nemasys F&V Nematodes is a perishable product (it will keep for 2 weeks in the fridge), so order when you are ready to apply or select your dispatch date below.

Apply to the lawn using a watering can or EasyNem Applicator. Order Nemasys F&V Nematodes as a TWIN PACK (2 packs per delivery) – use one pack ASAP and pop the other one in the fridge to use 2 weeks later and save money too.
How is it sent? – Nemasys F&V Nematodes is a perishable, living product, so it is sent out fresh by Royal Mail 1st class post. Being a perishable, living product, it must be used before the expiry date (which is marked on the inside of the pack and will be at least 2 weeks) and it must be stored in the fridge until it is needed. Once opened, the contents do not keep, so it must be used in one day – do NOT store the made up solution or powder. 1 or 2 packs will go through your letterbox and should be popped in the fridge as soon as possible – they are fine on the doormat while you are at work. N.B. Large orders i.e. 5 or more large packs will not fit through the letterbox, so someone will need to be in to receive it.
How to apply? – Apply to the soil with a watering can fitted with a Course Rose / NemaCan or a EasyNem Applicator / Hose end feeder.
