Control slugs with these natural nematodes. Easy to apply, the nematodes Phasmarhabditis californica are simply mixed in with water and applied to the soil around the ornamental or fruit plants you want to protect. The nematodes then move through the soil to locate, infect and kill slugs. One pack treats either 10 or 20 square meters of soil or 175 pots of 26 cm (7.5 L).

The product contains a naturally occurring nematode species Phasmarhabditis californica, a natural parasite of slugs. Applying Nemaslug to your garden or allotment simply temporarily boosts the natural population of these beneficial nematodes to control the slugs. A challenge with controlling slugs is that they are most active around periods of wet weather, which is when you need your slug control to work. Nemaslug works best in wet conditions, which is when the slugs are most active. The ability of the nematodes to move through the soil to hunt the slugs is also an advantage of slug-killing nematodes over products which rely on attracting the slugs to a bait. In addition to the high level for control of slugs, especially those less than 8cm in length, is the safety of Nemaslug to wildlife and animals also in your garden. Wildlife coming into contact with Nemaslug in your garden, be it accidentally or as with frogs, birds and hedgehogs predating on slugs infected with nematodes, the product will not harm them.

Can be used when soil temperatures are above 5C. Most commonly used in spring (April) and early autumn (September) during peak slug egg laying.
