The \u003cstrong\u003eSteinernema carpocapsae\u003c\/strong\u003e formulation works where targeted larvae and insects may develop, particularly near the soil surface and within the lower turf canopy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis treatment is especially useful for Canadian lawns affected by chinch bugs during the warmer summer months. Damage is often most visible between June and August when the weather is hot and dry. Turf may lose colour, become thin and develop irregular straw-coloured or brown patches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike a conventional chemical insecticide, nematodes are living organisms that work biologically in the soil. They offer an alternative for homeowners who want to reduce pesticide use while directly targeting specific lawn pests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe product may also help control flea and tick larvae in outdoor areas. Flea larvae often develop in moist, shaded locations, especially in areas frequently used by pets. Treating these areas targets an important stage of the flea life cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe proprietary gel formulation helps protect the nematodes before use and provides a shelf life of up to six months when the product is stored according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. This makes the product easier to handle and allows treatment to be scheduled when conditions are suitable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApplication is simple and can be completed with the NemaGlobe hose-end sprayer or a watering can. One package covers up to 3,000 sq. ft., making it suitable for many residential lawns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen to Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Canada and northern regions, chinch bug damage is generally most common from June through August when conditions are hot and dry. Lawns should be monitored for chinch bug activity from May through September.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCommon symptoms include irregular patches of stunted, discoloured or weakened grass. As feeding increases, these patches may turn straw brown and eventually die.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor flea larvae, treatments may be applied from spring through fall. Begin with moist, shaded areas where flea larvae are most likely to develop. Reapplication after four to six weeks may be recommended to target the next generation of hatching fleas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Check for Chinch Bugs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUse a metal can with both ends removed. Push the can approximately 2 inches into the soil and fill it with water. Maintain the water level and check the surface after approximately five to ten minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChinch bugs present in the turf will usually float to the surface. Treatment may be necessary when a significant number of insects are found in the test area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDirections for Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApply NemaGlobe Flea \u0026amp; Chinch Bug Busters™ to a moist lawn or garden when the soil temperature is between \u003cstrong\u003e50 and 90 °F\u003c\/strong\u003e. Because nematodes are living organisms, proper application conditions are essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo not apply in full sun. Nematodes are sensitive to heat, direct sunlight and drying. Early morning, evening or overcast conditions are recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStep 1: Water the Lawn or Garden\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWater the treatment area before application so the soil is thoroughly moist. Schedule the treatment around rainy periods whenever possible or pre-water the area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf the soil temperature is above 90 °F, irrigate the treatment area before application to lower the soil temperature and create more suitable conditions for the nematodes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStep 2: Mix in the Nematodes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOpen the NemaGlobe package and remove the bags. Pour the contents into the sprayer and fill it with water to the indicated fill line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShake vigorously to distribute the nematodes evenly. Continue to agitate the solution periodically during application to keep the nematodes suspended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStep 3: Attach and Spray\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAttach the sprayer to a garden hose and begin applying the solution to the most heavily affected areas. Gradually move outward to provide complete and even coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConcentrate on yellow, brown or weakened turf patches and the surrounding edges, since chinch bugs may also be present beyond the visible damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen treating flea larvae, begin in moist and shaded locations before moving outward to nearby areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAfter Application\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWater the treated area after application to help move the nematodes into the turf canopy and upper soil layer where the targeted pests are present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the treatment area moist for the next three days. During hot and dry weather, maintain regular moisture for approximately seven days. Avoid saturating the soil or causing excessive runoff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo not allow the surface to dry completely immediately after treatment. Moisture allows the nematodes to move through the soil and reach the targeted insects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor best results, combine the treatment with proper lawn-care practices. Maintain an appropriate mowing height, avoid scalping the grass, water deeply when necessary and reseed bare areas after the pest population has been controlled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose This Product?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChoosing \u003cstrong\u003eNemaGlobe Flea \u0026amp; Chinch Bug Busters™\u003c\/strong\u003e means selecting a biological treatment that works directly in the soil against chinch bugs, flea larvae and tick larvae.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts proprietary formulation contains approximately 20 million Steinernema carpocapsae nematodes and treats up to 3,000 sq. ft. The product is easy to apply, pesticide-free and suitable for a more environmentally responsible lawn-care approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough their targeted action and ability to move through moist soil, beneficial nematodes provide a practical option for reducing pest pressure and supporting a healthier, denser and more resilient lawn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are NemaGlobe Flea \u0026amp; Chinch Bug Busters™ used for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey are used to biologically control chinch bugs, flea larvae and tick larvae found in the soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many nematodes are included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne package contains approximately 20 million beneficial Steinernema carpocapsae nematodes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much area does one package cover?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne package treats up to approximately 275 m² or 3,000 sq. ft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen should chinch bugs be treated in Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDamage is generally most common from June through August, but lawns should be monitored from May through September.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan nematodes be applied in full sun?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Full sun should be avoided because nematodes are sensitive to direct sunlight, heat and drying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat soil temperature is required?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe soil temperature should be between approximately 50 and 90 °F at the time of application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eShould the area be watered before application?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
