Ant nests in lawns and borders can quickly become a nuisance, creating unsightly mounds of soil and disturbing plant roots. As colonies grow, they can weaken surrounding plants and make lawns uneven underfoot. Ants also contribute to other pest problems by protecting aphids from natural predators like ladybirds, allowing infestations to thrive.

How to Control the Pest

Agralan Ant Nest Control Nematodes provide a natural, chemical-free way to tackle ant infestations. These microscopic, transparent worms (Steinernema feltiae) actively enter the ant larvae and release bacteria that stop them from feeding, leading to a rapid decline in the colony. Suitable for controlling both black and red ants, this biological solution works beneath the soil surface to target the nest directly while remaining completely safe for pets, wildlife and beneficial insects.

How to Use the Product

Mix the nematodes with water and apply using a watering can directly onto a well-watered ant nest. For best results, ensure the soil temperature is at least 12°C before application. Treatments can be carried out between April and September when ants are active. In cases of severe infestation, a repeat application after 4–6 weeks is recommended. Keep the treated area moist to help the nematodes move through the soil and maximise effectiveness.
