Leatherjacket Nematodes are microscopic, parasitic worms which seek out soil larvae of Leatherjacket then feed and multiply inside and stop them feeding on your plants. Nematodes are naturally found in the soil, by using this product you are simply topping it up. Leatherjackets are the larval stage of the crane fly or daddy-long-legs. When the adult crane flies begin to appear they will, within a few days begin to lay eggs that will hatch and within a couple of weeks cause damage to your lawn. This usually takes place around the end of August but can happen sooner depending on the weather. Leatherjacket nematodes stop the larvae of the crane fly and help prevent damage being caused to your lawn.
