Product description Codling Moth (Cydia pomonella) lay eggs that develop into larvae. These larvae burrow into fruit including Apples, Pears, Quinces and Walnuts. The larvae will feed inside the fruit, making tunnels, and leave excrement inside. Codling Moth Killer contains Steinernema nematodes which control the Codling Moth larvae when they are not in the fruit. The nematodes enter the larvae via a natural opening, like the mouth, and feed on the contents of the larvae. A natural bacterium is produced by the nematodes inside the larvae, which kills it. The nematodes reproduce inside the larvae, releasing more nematodes into the surrounding area. Once the Codling Moth larvae are killed, the nematodes die back to natural levels in the soil. Apply Codling Moth Killer Nematodes to infected trees, and their soil base, in April and mid-September to kill the larvae while they are on lower branches and the tree trunk. One pack of Codling Moth Killer will treat up to 8 trees. Choose a humid or wet day to apply your Nematodes. Nematodes are UV-sensitive and will not survive long when exposed to bright, sunny conditions. Apply the nematodes early in the morning or early evening to utilise optimum humidity levels. Empty contents of your 25 million sachet of nematodes into a bucket or container of 2.5 litres of water and mix thoroughly. Fill your sprayer (hand held sprayers should suffice, with filters removed - or use our Nema Super Sprayer or 8/15 Litre Pump Action Sprayers for optimum nematode application) with the mixed 2.5 litres of nematode concentrate and add another 5.5 litres of water so you are left with 8 litres of nematode solution. Spray the Codling Moth Killer solution to the lower branches and trunk of the tree (up to 1.5m from the base) and up to 1sqm around base of tree in the soil. Apply thorough coverage of lower tree trunk and drench soil at base of tree. Applying 1 litre of solution per tree. Use entire pack at once. Full instructions are provided on delivery. Legal Disclaimer You can store unopened nematode packs in a fridge but it is best to ensure you apply your nematodes as soon as possible for the best results.
