Joe Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Has anyone used these little critters before.Only my greenhouse and some veg have been got at.I was wondering how effective they are.Just been on a web page about them.I seem to remember years ago Gardeners World were raving about them.

suzy Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I'm going to have to use these microscopic little creatures to remove chafer beetles from my lawn later this summer. They will eat the beetle larvae but not cause a problem for pets etc and can remain safely in the earth. It's either that or a new lawn !Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 Thanks for the info.I assume on the veg patch they are watered in the soil,the same in the greenhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony F Dordogne Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 They are also sold by one of our local (trades internationally) bio/eco enterprises http://www.magellan-bio.fr/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vissac Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 IF you can get them delivered (it is a question of time as they are live) they are a third of the price in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzy Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I have just applied 50,000,000 to my lawn ! Hopefully I can report back positively when the beetles don't appear next May ! At £20 it's a lot cheaper than a new lawnSue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
