GREEN GUARDIA nematodes against codling moth
Natural and effective against codling moth larvae in the soil: GREEN GUARDIA SF nematodes (Steinernema feltiae) are microscopically small but highly effective nematodes that specifically combat the larval stages of the codling moth in the soil – without any chemicals , without residues and harmless to humans, pets and the environment .
When applied as a watering method, the nematodes actively penetrate the codling moth larvae and prevent their further development – ideal for use under apple trees, in orchards or in home gardens.
Suitable areas of application:
- Under apple and fruit trees: For the targeted reduction of codling moth larvae in the soil before pupation.
- Orchard meadows and home gardens: Biological protection without risk to beneficial insects such as bees.
- Raised beds and planters with fruit trees: Larvae nest here too – nematodes provide quick and residue-free relief.
- After fruit drop: Ideal for controlling overwintering codling moth larvae.
Application and tips:
- Simply add to the irrigation water: Mix nematodes with water and apply them extensively to the root area of the trees.
- Soil temperature: Ideally 10–28°C – do not apply during frost periods.
- Moisture is crucial: Keep the soil evenly moist for at least 2 weeks before and after treatment.
- Repeat treatment: In case of severe infestation, reapply after 7–14 days.
- No chemicals: Avoid chemical sprays – they can harm nematodes.
- Store in a cool place: Once received, store at 4–8°C and use within one week if possible.
🍏 Conclusion: GREEN GUARDIA SF nematodes are the sustainable, natural choice for controlling codling moth larvae in the soil – especially effective after fruit drop or in late summer. Ideal for organic gardens and nature-conscious fruit lovers.
APFELWICKLER NATÜRLICH BEKÄMPFEN – MIT GREEN GUARDIA SF-NEMATODEN
Apfelwicklerlarven schädigen Obstbäume, indem sie sich durch Früchte und Kerne fressen – sichtbar an kleinen Bohrlöchern und braunem Fruchtfleisch. Mit GREEN GUARDIA SF-Nematoden bekämpfst du die Larven effektiv im Bodenstadium – biologisch, nachhaltig und ganz ohne Chemie.
Wie viele Nematoden brauche ich?
Wähle die passende Packungsgröße entsprechend deiner Anbaufläche. So verteilen sich die Nematoden optimal im Boden und erreichen die verpuppenden Wicklerlarven:
| Packungsgröße | Fläche | Anzahl Pflanzen | Wassermenge |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 Mio. | 4 m² | 20 | 2 l |
| 3 Mio. | 6 m² | 30 | 3 l |
| 4 Mio. | 8 m² | 40 | 4 l |
| 5 Mio. | 10 m² | 50 | 5 l |
| 6 Mio. | 12 m² | 60 | 6 l |
| 10 Mio. | 20 m² | 100 | 10 l |
| 15 Mio. | 30 m² | 150 | 15 l |
| 20 Mio. | 40 m² | 200 | 20 l |
| 25 Mio. | 50 m² | 250 | 25 l |
| 50 Mio. | 100 m² | 500 | 50 l |
Anwendung in 3 einfachen Schritten:
- Anmischen: Löse das SF-Nematodenpulver vollständig in der angegebenen Wassermenge auf.
- Ausbringen: Gieße die Lösung direkt um die Baumscheiben oder unter den befallenen Obstbäumen aus – insbesondere im Sommer, wenn sich die Larven in den Boden zurückziehen.
- Feucht halten: Halte die behandelten Bereiche für mindestens zwei Wochen gut feucht – das ist entscheidend für den Bekämpfungserfolg.
Geeignete Einsatzbereiche:
- Obstgärten: Besonders wirksam unter Apfel- und Pflaumenbäumen gegen Larven im Boden.
- Baumscheiben: Direkt auf den Wurzelbereich ausbringen – ideal bei hartnäckigem Wicklerbefall.
- Bio-Anbau: Rückstandsfrei und für den ökologischen Gartenbau geeignet.
- Privatgärten & Streuobstwiesen: Auch bei kleinen Flächen einsetzbar – keine chemische Rückstände.
- Nach der Ernte: Optimaler Einsatzzeitpunkt für langfristige Wirkung.
🍏 Tipp: Wende die Nematoden frühzeitig ab Juli an – zu dem Zeitpunkt ziehen sich die Larven des Apfelwicklers zur Verpuppung in den Boden zurück.
Was tun bei Apfelwickler im Obstgarten?
Der Apfelwickler (Cydia pomonella) zählt zu den häufigsten Schädlingen im heimischen Obstbau. Die Raupen dieses kleinen Falters bohren sich gezielt in Äpfel, Birnen oder Pflaumen und hinterlassen braune Fraßgänge im Fruchtfleisch – die Ernte ist oft unbrauchbar.
Typische Anzeichen für einen Apfelwickler-Befall sind frühzeitig fallende Früchte, Bohrlöcher an der Frucht und braunes, krümeliges Kotmehl im Inneren. Ein unerkannter Befall kann sich von Saison zu Saison verstärken.
Wie kann ich Apfelwickler natürlich und nachhaltig bekämpfen?
- Schlupfwespen einsetzen: Mit GREEN GUARDIA Schlupfwespen (Trichogramma sp.) parasitierst du gezielt die Eier des Apfelwicklers – ohne Chemie, für eine nachhaltige Schädlingskontrolle.
- Frühzeitige Ausbringung: Platziere die Kärtchen bereits zur Eiablagezeit (ab Mai) im Baum – 1 Karte pro Baum oder alle 2–3 m.
- Befallene Früchte entfernen: Kontrolliere regelmäßig deine Bäume und entferne befallene oder vorzeitig gefallene Früchte, um den Lebenszyklus zu unterbrechen.
- Verzicht auf Gift: Vermeide synthetische Spritzmittel, da sie auch Nützlinge wie Schlupfwespen schädigen können.
- Rückschnitt im Winter: Durch das Entfernen abgestorbener Zweige und Fruchtmumien verringerst du Überwinterungsplätze.
- Leimringe nutzen: Diese helfen zusätzlich, andere Schädlinge wie Frostspanner vom Hochwandern abzuhalten.
🌿 Tipp: Eine 9-wöchige Behandlung mit GREEN GUARDIA Schlupfwespen sorgt für zuverlässigen Schutz über die gesamte Eiablagezeit hinweg – für gesunde Früchte ohne Rückstände.

Depending on the species, nematodes control, among other things, fungus gnat larvae, black vine weevils, grubs, mole crickets, garden chafer larvae, ants, flea beetles, snails and meadow crane flies.
No, nematodes are completely harmless to humans, pets, and plants. They specialize in specific pests and cause no harm.
The nematodes actively penetrate the pest larvae and release bacteria that kill the pest. The nematodes then multiply in the dead larvae.
The first effects usually appear after about 5–7 days. Complete control takes up to 3 weeks, depending on the pest and the severity of the infestation.
Yes, nematodes can be used regularly in vulnerable areas to prevent pests, especially if there are recurring problems with fungus gnats or grubs.
Nematodes are proving to be more resistant to heat than often assumed. Thanks to secure shipping packaging, our SF nematodes can easily survive unrefrigerated shipping for up to a week, even during the summer months. Therefore, we rely on environmentally friendly delivery without cooling pads and unnecessary packaging waste.
The nematodes will be delivered directly to your mailbox in an envelope . Even for orders containing other products, we ship our nematodes in a separate envelope. This ensures fast and secure delivery. For this reason, unfortunately, the nematodes cannot be delivered to packing stations .
Yes, ideally, nematodes should be applied immediately upon receipt. They can be stored in a refrigerator at 4–8°C for a few days (see packaging).
Our nematodes are enriched with a biological substrate that sometimes changes shape during transport and due to temperature fluctuations. This may make them appear mushy or clumpy, but they are still perfectly normal and fully functional .
If you add the product to water and stir well, you will notice that everything dissolves well and can be used without any problems.
Live beneficial insects are non-returnable. However, we're happy to help you with any problems.

One application is usually sufficient. In cases of severe infestation or recurrence, a second application can be performed after approximately two weeks.
Nematodes require soil temperatures between 12–25 °C and a consistently moist environment – at least for several hours after application.
Nematodes are suitable for use in flowerpots, beds, lawns and greenhouses – both indoors and outdoors.
After controlling their host larvae, the nematodes slowly die when no new pests are present.
Yes, nematodes can be combined with other beneficial organisms such as predatory mites or parasitic wasps, as long as their habitats do not overlap.
