The main adult flight period is from October to December (mainly November in Canterbury), with flights being later in cooler regions. Females tend to mate as they emerge from the soil and lay the first cluster of eggs (\u003cstrong\u003e7-20cm below the soil surface\u003c\/strong\u003e), Females may lay two or three batches of eggs over two to three weeks.\r\n\r\nLarvae hatch after approximately 3 weeks and being feeding immediately on roots, there are three stages of larval growth, called instars. The second instar occurs from mid-January to late February, moving up to the top \u003cstrong\u003e6cm\u003c\/strong\u003e of soil. The third instars develop through until June in the top \u003cstrong\u003e2-3cm\u003c\/strong\u003e of the soil and they then burrow down to about 25cm to over-winter. Control of grass grubs may be improved through an understanding of their lifecycle.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to treat grass grubs:\u003c\/strong\u003e  With Neem pack you take action on controlling grubs before they are the problem. In NZ recommended application is from February to late autumn, but also from sprint to summer.  As per our recommendation During the late autumn and winter, the grubs do not eat in the top 5cm of soil. The grubs are usually found about 15 cm below the surface and control of the grub requires getting insecticide to this level in the soil. Treatment is most effective from February to March\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow to treat grass grub:\u003c\/strong\u003e For the most effective result, we suggest spraying native neem organic certified neem insecticide around mid-January to March. Mix 10-15ml of native neem insecticide in 1 Liter of warm water and spray on your grass.  This mixture should cover around 3-5 m2 of area. After application lightly water the lawn with a hose so the insecticide can go down into the top 6 to 10 cm of the lawn. Repeat the same process after 2-week time. This time after spraying neem insecticide, sprinkle native neem organic neem granules on the grass. You will need around 50-80 g hand-full granules to cover a 1-meter square area.  Lightly racked around if necessary. Repeat the process with granules and insecticide every six-to-eight-week intervals till June end.  You can use this process a couple of times from October to December if needed.  During the summertime, you can reduce the neem insecticide dose from 10-15 ml to 5-10 ml per Liter of warm water.\r\n\r\nA combination of Native neem insecticide and Native neem granules is especially good for combating Grass Grubs, Porina, Black Beetle Grubs, Root Mealy Bugs, and Nematodes in home and garden plants.\r\n\u003ch4\u003eNote: Due to the size of the information, it can not be fitted on the label.  Please review this section again before applying it to your home and garden.\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"The Good Soil Company Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47212750078170,"sku":"Neem40224091","price":28.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/4734\/5370\/files\/2511478d-Native-Neem-Grass-Grub-Pack-1.jpg?v=1765518312"},{"product_id":"neem-garden-care-pack-organic","title":"Neem Garden Care Pack Organic","description":"\u003ch1\u003eNative Neem Organic Garden Care Pack\u003c\/h1\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003ePack Contains:\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eOrganic BioGro-certified neem granules 500 gms\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eOrganic BioGro certified neem oil insecticide 250 ml\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eOrganic liquid fertilizer 250 ml\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eKnow the difference :\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\nNative Neem Organic Neem Oil Insecticide differs from other commercial neem oils in that other commercial neem oils are emulsified by adding solvents to make them water-soluble.

Native Neem Organic Neem Oil Insecticide is produced using natural emulsifiers, making it chemical-free, made with raw and cold-pressed neem oil, and ideal for your garden.\r\n\r\nNative Neem Pure Neem Oil differs from other commercial neem oils in that we are able to offer you the choice of either Pure or Emulsified Neem Oil.  For personal and health care purposes use our Native Neem certified organic 100% Pure Neem Oil (medical grade).\r\n\r\nHere in New Zealand, we differentiate between the two types of oils by labeling them:\r\n\r\nPure Neem Oil – for personal and healthcare\r\n\r\nNeem Oil Insecticide – for garden use\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eNot all Neem Oils are the same.\u003c\/strong\u003e Native Neem Organic Neem Oil Insecticide is one of the highest-grade certified organic oils available today. Our Neem Oil contains high amounts of azadirachtin and is patented and processed in the traditional Indian way without the use of heat, chemicals, or petrochemicals. In this way, it retains all the well-balanced nutrients, many of which would otherwise be lost.\r\n\r\nAs a preventative, Native Neem Organic Neem Oil Insecticide can be used when pest problems are just starting to show. Spraying to coat the leaf surface, will prevent the germination of any fungal spores. Neem is effective against rot, mildew, rust, scab, leaf spot, and blight. It works as a barrier, not as a fungicide, and makes a great garden spray as a general tonic for your plants and soil.\r\n\u003ch3\u003eMode of Working:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\nNumerous insect species are repelled by the active ingredients in the neem seed. Finding the taste and smell unpleasant, they avoid any plants that have been treated with neem extracts. Insects die after eating the leaves or other parts of plants treated with these substances. The behavior of some insects changes and it also reduces their ability to lay eggs. Neem is known to affect the natural life cycle of many insects by preventing them from passing to the next stage of their development. Thus nymphs cannot pass on to their next stage if they absorb Neem oil through contact or digestion. They then die.","brand":"The Good Soil Company Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47212749947098,"sku":"Neem402241904091","price":40.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/4734\/5370\/files\/Untitleddesign_22.jpg?v=1767631012"},{"product_id":"weedem-weed-killer-spray","title":"WEEDEM Weed Killer Spray","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"dual-action-organic-weedkiller-natural-ingredients-effective-herbicide\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"\u003eDual Action Organic Weedkiller.
