Slug Nematodes

Slug nematodes are microscopic worms that target slugs in the soil, stopping them feeding within a few days and killing them within one to three weeks. Safe for children, pets, birds, frogs, toads, hedgehogs, and other wildlife, they are one of the most practical biological control options for UK gardeners who want to reduce slug damage without reaching for chemicals.

Apply from March to October whenever soil temperatures are above 5°C and moist conditions allow. They are particularly effective against common garden slugs that attack hostas, lettuce, delphiniums, strawberries and many other garden favourites.
