About Nemaslug Nematodes
Nemaslug slug nematodes is a natural organic pest control which is environmentally friendly. Slug nematodes are microscopic, transparent worms, which feed and multiply inside the slug. Easy to apply and completely safe to use around children, pets and wildlife, making it the perfect solution for organic gardening. The less common name is Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita.
How do Slug Nematodes Work?
Once the nematodes are applied the slugs stop feeding after a few days and die within a week. For total control apply every 6 weeks. Slug nematodes are found naturally in the soil, by applying these you are just topping up.
The nematodes enter the slug and secrete bacteria which kills the slug.
Start your slug control early and apply at least a week before planting to ensure your garden is safe from slugs.
Are Slug Nematodes Easy to Apply
The nematodes come complete with instructions and can be applied using a watering can or nematode applicator. You just apply to moist soil when the soil temperature is above 5ºC (41ºF) and ensure the soil does not dry out for at least two weeks after applying nematodes. Nematodes are capable of surviving the odd frost; so don't worry if the temperature falls after you have applied the nematodes.
How Long do Nematodes Last in the Packet?

“I have too many old stone walls to eradicate slugs totally but I find applying nematodes twice in the spring keeps the slugs at a manageable level. I am now able to grow hostas and lupins. I also grow fruit and veg and prefer to use this natural method instead of harmful slug pellets.”

“We have used Gardening Naturally for a couple of years now (probably 4/5 years). The product we generally purchase is Nemaslug. The product is always within date and works well, controlling our slug problem. We use less nowadays because we have built a pond and have frogs which keep the slug population down too. It also is natural so does not kill the slugs or frogs but works by reducing the fertility of the slugs. Postage has always been quick.”

“We use this product every year mostly because we have 2 dogs (snails carry lungworms). Already this year we are seeing baby slugs emerging which seems very early. We have a cold snap at the moment but we managed to get the first treatment in prior to it. I’ve ordered another lot of Nematodes to try and get on top of the problem. The snail population has definitely decreased.”

“For the first 2-3 years I used this product twice a year, now I only need one a year. Very effective and as I don't see the deceased slugs I do not feel too guilty either. Also I have observed that if I do spot the occasional slug, they are fairly young and not adult size.”
