Description

Ant Control NematodesA natural, non chemical way to deal with persistent ant nests in lawns, borders, and patios using microscopic beneficial nematodes (Steinernema feltiae) that ants find intolerable to live alongside. Apply once, keep the soil moist for a fortnight, and the colony moves on of its own accord. No pesticides, no residue, no risk to children, pets, bees, or wildlife. How it works Ant nematodes are tiny parasitic worms that occur naturally in healthy soil.

A natural, non-chemical way to deal with persistent ant nests in lawns, borders, and patios — using microscopic beneficial nematodes (Steinernema feltiae) that ants find intolerable to live alongside. Apply once, keep the soil moist for a fortnight, and the colony moves on of its own accord. No pesticides, no residue, no risk to children, pets, bees, or wildlife.

How it works

Ant nematodes are tiny parasitic worms that occur naturally in healthy soil. The species used here, Steinernema feltiae, is harmless to plants, mammals, birds, and beneficial insects — but ants find their presence in the nest area unbearable. Within days of application, the colony begins relocating. Within two weeks, established nests are typically abandoned entirely.

Importantly, this treatment doesn't kill the ants. They simply move on. That makes it a genuinely benign solution for gardeners who want to rid a particular area of an ant problem (a vegetable bed, a patio, a path being lifted by a colony underneath) without resorting to ant powders, sprays, or boiling water — all of which kill indiscriminately and harm the wider soil ecosystem.

Effective against the three common UK garden ant species: black ants, red ants, and yellow ants.

When to apply

Nematodes are live organisms and need warm, moist soil to be effective. The application window is:

  • April to September — when soil temperature stays above 10°C even at night and ant activity is visible above ground
  • Avoid: late autumn, winter, and early spring when soils are too cold
  • Best timing: at the first sign of ant activity, before the colony is well established for the season

Apply in the cooler part of the day — late afternoon or early evening is ideal — so the nematodes aren't sitting in direct sun while you're watering them in.

How to use

  1. Water the area first — soil must be moist before application, not dry.
  2. Mix the pack in a watering can with cool (not warm) water, following the instructions on the pack.
  3. Apply evenly over the treated area, using a coarse rose or removing the rose entirely for fast flow.
  4. Water in well after application.
  5. Keep the soil moist for at least two weeks. This is critical — if the soil dries out, the nematodes die before doing their work. In dry weather, water lightly every few days.
  6. Lawn use is safe immediately after application — children, pets, and visitors can walk on the treated area straight away.

Pack sizes

  • Small — treats approximately 10 sqm. Sized for cottage gardens, a problem patio area, a specific nest cluster, or one or two affected borders.
  • Large — treats a larger area, suitable for full lawn treatment or multiple problem zones across a bigger plot.

Most gardeners with a contained ant problem find the Small pack covers what they need. The Large is for whole-lawn treatment or repeat applications across the season.

Critical: storage and freshness

Nematodes are live organisms with a limited shelf life from the date of manufacture. As soon as your pack arrives:

  • Refrigerate immediately until you're ready to apply. The fridge keeps them dormant.
  • Use within 2-3 weeks of receipt — check the expiry date marked on the pack.
  • Don't freeze — freezing kills them.
  • Don't leave on a warm windowsill or in a hot car — high temperatures kill them quickly.

For this reason, we dispatch nematode orders promptly and recommend timing your purchase so you can apply within a few days of receipt.

Safety

Ant nematodes are biological controls naturally present in healthy soil and are accepted in organic gardening practice. They're safe for:

  • Children and pets — treated lawn safe immediately
  • Wildlife, including birds and hedgehogs
  • Bees and other beneficial pollinators
  • Edible crops — suitable for use around fruit and vegetables
  • Aquatic life — safe near ponds, but avoid direct application to water

An honest note before you buy

Nematodes are live biological products and cannot be returned. Please order only when you're ready to apply within the next few days, and ensure you have moist soil and suitable weather conditions for treatment.

Adorable special occasion suit for boys
Size: 5, Color: Light Blue, Size: 5, Color: Light Blue
I ordered this 3-piece suit for my son and even though it’s currently a little too big for him, I couldn’t resist keeping it because it’s absolutely adorable! The quality really impressed me right out of the package. The fabric feels lightweight and breathable, which will be perfect for warmer weather, and it has a nice polished look without feeling stiff. The set comes with a blazer, vest, and pants, and each piece is very well made. I love the little details like the lapel on the jacket, the adjustable strap on the vest, and the adjustable waist on the pants, which will definitely help as he grows. It looks like a much more expensive suit than it actually is. Even though my son will have to grow into it, I’m already excited for him to wear it. I’m thinking it will be perfect for Easter next year or any special occasion. It’s such a cute outfit, and I love that the pieces can be mixed and matched for different looks. Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase and can’t wait to see him wearing it! The blue color goes well for any occasion and I may have to order my husband a suit in matching shade of blue so they can be twins. The size looks accurate for boys 5T. I took a picture to show the pants next to a pair of unwashed Oshkosh B’Gosh brand straight leg 5T boys denim jeans.

Size: 5, Color: Light Green
I’m so impressed with this **boys' linen summer suit**! 👔🌞 It’s the perfect outfit for warmer weather while still looking sharp and stylish. The **linen fabric** is lightweight and breathable, making it ideal for those hot summer days. My son looked fantastic in it, and he was comfortable all day long, which is a big plus! The suit fits **true to size**, and the cut is modern yet classic. The **jacket** has a great, tailored look without being too stiff, and the **trousers** are just the right fit—not too baggy or too tight. It’s a very **polished** look for events like weddings, family gatherings, or holiday parties. I also love that the **color options** are vibrant and fresh, perfect for summer. The suit is **easy to care for**—I was worried about linen wrinkles, but it’s held up well after a few washes, and the fabric still looks crisp. Overall, this **boys' linen summer suit** is an excellent purchase for any special occasion or just to make your little one look extra sharp during the summer months. **Comfortable, stylish, and durable**—highly recommend! 🌟👔

Nice summer suit for my son
Size: 6, Color: Light Green, Size: 6, Color: Light Green
I got this linen suit for my 7 year old son and it looks really nice on him. The set comes with the blazer, vest, and pants, which makes it look very polished when worn together. The material is lightweight and breathable, which is great for warmer weather. It has that classic linen look but still feels comfortable enough for kids to move around in. My son wore it for a few hours and didn’t complain about it being uncomfortable. I also like the little details like the pockets, the adjustable back on the vest, and the adjustable waistband on the pants. Those features really help with getting a better fit. Another nice thing is that you can mix and match the pieces. He can wear the vest and pants for a slightly more casual look or the full suit for more formal occasions. Overall it’s a really nice suit for kids, especially for events like weddings, family gatherings, or school events. My son looked great in it and it worked perfectly for the occasion.

A good First Communion suit
Size: 6, Color: White, Size: 6, Color: White
This suit looks and feels really nice even though it’s not 100% linen. My son is an average size 7 year old, but I got a size 6 so that the fit would be nice and snug and not loose and baggy. It was the right choice. Comes with a bow tie which is nice, a tie (which is very cheap and poorly made) and a pocket square.

This little suit for boys is very stylish. I bought it for my grandson for a wedding occasion and it looked very nice. The fabric is not too thick so for the summer wedding it was great. I pick the blue color and it looked fantastic!
