Suits commercial use and professional contractors. Contact us for pricing ! Using Amvista Squirm: Spray when worms are active near the surface e.g. wet, damp soil during spring and autumn Do not apply immediately before or during heavy rainfall as product can be washed away before Squirm has ability to influence casting of worms Repeat applications every 10-14 days during periods of peak worm activity  High risk sites and may require re-application every 10 days. High water volume required (10L of diluted Squirm covers 250-400m2) Avoid spraying during drought or when the ground is frozen Natural, nutrient based product - suitable for homeowners Safe for newly established grass turf Can be used all-year round on established turf If applying organic based fertilsers, these can prove attractive to worms and negate the deterrent effect of Purity Please note. Amvista Squirm does not harm worms, but works to create an acidic environment which worms dislike. To achieve this environment, repeated applications must be made over a number of  weeks or months. If more rapid results are required, or you have a commercially sensitive situation such as golf greens, we also have Purity soil conditioning granules containing tea saponins.  Learn More About Amvista Squirm Click the additional tabs at the top of this section (Application Rate, Label/SDS, and Reviews) to reveal further information on this product.

Too early to say as the lawn has only had two applications but after the second there were more worm casts than ever. The next application is due 4 days time and I will keep going for another few weeks yet. If it works, I will be writing rave reviews.

I had no hesitation in purchasing this product, I used it for our bowling green last season and it did what it was supposed to do. So I bought some more for using this season. The only drawback I found is that it needs to be used more than once during spring to make sure the worms remain under the surface of the green.

Hi Robert, Squirm works by creating an unfavourable soil environment, deterring worm activity and without harming worms. This is achieved by applying an initial high dose of Squirm, followed by repeated lower dose applications. As mentioned in the instructions, you may need multiple applications before the required results are seen. We do have another product that will give full control of worms, but we prefer the friendlier approach of Squirm unless the casting is causing real commercial damage, whereupon we can offer the alternative solution. Please contact our office 0800 0326262 if you wish to discuss either treatment. Thanks ProGreen Technical Support Team
