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.

This shirt checked all the boxes, comfort, fit and feel.
Size: 3X-Large, Color: Teal 02, Size: 3X-Large, Color: Teal 02
OMG! what a nice shirt. The pattern is awesome and the material is very soft and light weight. It is so breathable. Material has a bit of stretch so it very comfortable sitting or standing and does not wrinkle. I will be ordering at least on more in another color

Surprisingly awesome. Seriously. And I hate buying clothes.
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
I'm 6'1", 215 with large shoulders and chest. "Athletic dad-bod." Nothing fits me perfectly. I'm constantly stuck between an XL and XXL shirt, and a 37x31 pant---so literally nothing fits me and if you're a big guy, we all know that most polo shirts look like crap and fit like garbage bags. The shiny tone first made me skeptical. I wasn't even going to take it out of the package. But for $19, I said screw it. It fits really well. Not slim fit, but not "Ralph Lauren trash bag regular fit." It's soft like textured silk. It looks good and is the perfect length if you're 6'-6'3. And no--I know your first thought with the texture and shine is "does it look like a cheesy club shirt on a NJ Italian guy?" Shockingly, no...it's actually really nice (yeah--I had the same thought). It's stretchy. It's relatively form fitting, and it's cool to the touch. I immediately bought 3 more. For $19--just buy it. You won't regret it.

Good shirt
Size: Medium, Color: Teal 02
Love the color and the design of the shirt. The small threads it’s made out of starting to come loose though. Now when look down at chest and stomach area, there are 15+ little strings that pop out of the shirt.

Awesome shirt!
Size: Medium, Color: Blue, Size: Medium, Color: Blue
This is a nice shirt! Let me start by saying I am 6 foot 2, 195pounds with about a 40 inch chest, 42 inches on a good day! Ha ha. I ordered a medium because I wanted an athletic fit. The medium fits just right. For those wanting a normal, roomier fit I would recommend the large for my size. I’ll get a lot of compliments when I wear this shirt. What I like about it is that it is wrinkle free and looks great, I would not wear it on a super hot day with a snug fit. I do live in Florida, so that makes a difference. I also ordered the black one, both the blue and the black look very good for dress /casual. It’s polyester so it’s not super soft, which is OK. That also means it does not shrink.
