Jumping Worm Control

All-Natural Bioinsecticide for Invasive Jumping Worms (Amynthas spp.)

Jumping Worm Control is a plant-based, all-natural bioinsecticide designed to help growers, landscapers, nurseries, and homeowners manage invasive jumping worm infestations. Formulated with naturally derived plant oils and advanced surfactant technology, this product works quickly on contact to disrupt the worm’s protective cuticle, leading to rapid dehydration and mortality.

Jumping worms (Amynthas spp.) destroy soil structure, strip organic matter in days, and permanently damage turf, landscapes, and horticultural operations. Vegalab Jumping Worm Control offers an effective, non-synthetic, and environmentally compatible solution using Vegalab’s proven formulation technology. Jumping Worm Control was tested showing 100% efficacy in 24 hrs.

Pests Targeted

Effective against:

• Effective against Jumping worms (Amynthas spp.)
• Effective against all slugs.
• Effective against mole crickets.
• Effective against ants.

Application

At the beginning of the infestation, use 4.7 to 6.3 mL (1 - 1 1/4 tsp.) of product with one gallon (1 gal.) of water in order to dilute Jumping Worm Control. It can also be used in other quantities respecting the dilution rate of 1:800 – 1:600; product to water. After dilution, spray the product onto the plant leaf. In area applications, use 6.9 oz - 10.4 oz per acre of land. Do not apply prior to excessive rains since this may reduce product effectiveness.

Active Ingredients

Jumping Worm Control uses a synergistic blend of citric acid, plant-derived saponins, and bio-surfactants.

Safety & Environmental Info

Jumping Worm Control is considered an environmentally friendly pesticide, as crops require less pesticide to achieve the same degree of control due to the product’s surfactant properties. Appropriate land management practices should be used at all times with any pesticide; this material should be prevented from entering public or private water supplies (including wells) and any lake, stream, or river.

Mode of Action

Jumping Worm Control works through a rapid-contact, plant-derived mode of action enhanced by Vegalab’s proprietary nano-emulsion technology. The formulation’s geraniol and natural saponins are nanoized into ultra-fine nano droplets that penetrate the worm’s mucous layer more efficiently than conventional emulsions. This nano-scale dispersion increases surface coverage, accelerates cuticle disruption, and drives the active compounds deeper into the epidermal barrier. Once the membrane structure collapses, the worm rapidly loses moisture, leading to dehydration, immobilization, and death. The nano-emulsion also improves product distribution, ensuring consistent contact with adult and juvenile jumping worms for maximum efficacy..
