Watered onto the grass, the microscopic nematodes seek out the young larvae, infect them with bacteria that kill them, and multiply inside before hunting more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor outdoor use. Plan the first treatment about 2–3 weeks after you see adult crane flies swarming over the lawn (usually August\/September) to catch the small, newly hatched larvae. Dissolve in water and apply immediately, keeping the soil moist for at least two weeks. Best at soil temperatures above 12 °C; apply early morning, evening or on a cloudy day, as nematodes are UV-sensitive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGood to know:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 million nematodes — covers approximately 50–100 m².\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrdering \u0026amp; shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLive beneficial insects ship once a week — your order is dispatched on the \u003cstrong\u003eMonday of the following week\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree shipping\u003c\/strong\u003e when you add other products to your order.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlease note: beneficial insects are always sent as a \u003cstrong\u003eseparate shipment\u003c\/strong\u003e and never travel together with plants or other items.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eProduct photos courtesy of Biobasiq (Nyttodjur.se).\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nyttodjur.se","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65260714787165,"sku":null,"price":465.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0102\/9957\/2282\/files\/Steinernema-feltiae-7.w1200.jpg?v=1784123978","url":"https:\/\/www.plantthatplant.com\/pt\/products\/nematodes-for-crane-flies-leatherjackets-50-million","provider":"Plantthatplant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
