When treating your lawn with nematodes, your lawn should be as moist as a wrung-out sponge. The amount of water needed will depend on your lawn, soil depth, and weather conditions. If you need more water than provided under the sprinkling regulations, apply for an exemption permit.
If you are treating your lawn with nematodes to get rid of Chafer Beetles:
You must show a receipt for nematodes
Your permit is valid for a three-week period from the date of purchase with no extensions
Watering is ONLY allowed from 4am to 9am
Your permit must be visibly displayed on the property
