Nemaslug needs to be applied in early spring and if you continue with a regular application you should reduce the life cycle of the slugs and see a significant reduction of slug damage.

Scientific research has shown that an autumn application of Nemaslug will significantly reduce slug populations the following spring and therefore give your plants a much improved start for next season. The slugs in your garden lay eggs which will hatch in spring and the unique long lasting effect of Nemaslug in the soil can break the slugs lifecycle.

Slugs cause serious damage to plants, especially in spring and wet weather and are one of the most destructive pests in Britain. Slug killer nematodes provide a very effective and simple organic and ecological method of ridding your garden of slugs. These predatory slug killing nematodes are a naturally occurring roundworm that kill slugs and nothing else.

Unlike many other chemical based slug control methods slug killer nematodes are harmless to pets, children, hedgehogs and all other forms of wildlife (apart from a few types of snail). Because slug killer nematodes are a naturally occurring microscopic predator of slugs this truly is an organic and environmentally friendly form of pest control.

IMPORTANT: Once delivered, slug killer nematodes cannot be returned because they are a living product. Ensure that slug killer nematodes are the correct product for you before purchase. DO NOT order more slug killer nematodes than you will use at any one time (they only keep for about 3 to 4 weeks). You may order outside the recommended months at your own risk.
