Nemaslug Slug Killer Standard Pack treats 40 sq m

Product Information

I’ve always found your products to be of good quality and have always been pleased with my past purchases. You put them in a watering can full of water, stir them in and water them onto the soil round the plants you want to protect.

This 4litre mix is then diluted into a 5l watering can- you take 500ml of the mix, put it in the watering can and then fill it with water like normal and apply to the ground/pots. These parasitic worms eat the slugs under the soil during the day,so there should be no lettuce-munching monsters left to come out and ravage the vegetable patch at night. They enter the slug through a hole in its back while it is underground and poison it so that it will die within a few days underground, out of sight. However, if because of dense foliage this is impossible, after application wash them off into the soil with some extra water.

Nemaslug can be applied any time when slugs are present as long as the soil temperature is 5oC (40oF) (this is also when plants start to grow). I’ve been using nemaslug for some years now and the number of slugs each year is constantly diminishing so I think it must be effective.

Using a biological control against slugs is very effective but the environmental conditions need to be right. If you are after a pellet pesticide to target slug infestations take a look at Advanced Slug Killer or Sluxx. One application of Nemaslug provides 300,000 nematodes for every square metre of soil, giving at least six weeks control of slugs. Unlike chemical pellets, the slug killer nematodes continue to work well during wet weather, exactly when you need protection against slugs.

If you have an allotment or garden and grow your own food, then potatoes will probably be one of your bigger crops as it is our staple food. In doing so, a pellet of bacteria is released that begins to multiply spreading through the host body. Nemaslug is applied very simply using a watering can with a coarse rose or with a hose end feeder (we sell both). Metal/copper rings around the tops of pots- slithered across and impossible to use on plants in the ground. It works at relatively low temperatures and unlike chemical pellets it remains effective under wet conditions.
