Stop Leatherjackets From Destroying Your Lawn!

Leatherjackets (crane fly larvae) feed on grass roots, causing yellow patches, thinning turf, and loose grass that pulls up easily. Protect your lawn with safe, effective nematodes, nature’s solution.

How to Spot Leatherjacket Damage

• Yellow/brown patches in grass
• Thinning or dead turf
• Grass lifts easily (weak roots)

Not sure if it’s chafer grubs?

Leatherjackets = Grey/brown, worm-like, no legs.

Chafer grubs = White, C-shaped, orange head & 6 legs.

Why Use Nematodes?

• Kills larvae naturally – Microscopic worms invade & eliminate leatherjackets.
• Safe for kids, pets & wildlife – No chemicals, no exclusion needed.
• Easy to apply – Just water into the lawn (full instructions included).

Best Application Windows

• Late August–October (after adult crane flies appear)
• Early spring (if larvae persist)

Soil Must Be

• Above 10°C (50°F)
• Moist for 2 weeks post-application (nematodes survive light frosts).

How to Apply

• Mix nematodes with water.
• Use a watering can (large-holed rose) or applicator.
• Water evenly over affected areas.
