Nemaslug Slug Killer Standard Pack treats 40 sq m

Product Information

is a biological slug killer for the control of most common species of small to medium sized slugs in outdoor and protected soft fruit and other horticultural crops. Nemaslug is particularly effective in wet conditions, when slugs are at their worst and pellets are at their least effective. Start your Nemaslug control regime early and you will be able to target the young slugs growing under the ground. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

As the nematodes invade the slug, it will stop feeding, so your plants are safe and will burrow underground to die. So you can delay applying Nemaslug till 6-7 weeks before harvest, when the tubers are most likely to be eaten by slugs. The nematodes come complete with instructions and can be applied using a watering can or nematode applicator.Nemaslug works at temps above 5c/40f, so apply UNDERGLASS all year round OR apply OUTDOORS during the growing season. Each application of Nemaslug® will control slugs for six weeks, so for a slug free garden, apply Nemaslug® every 6 weeks. Unlike Nemaslug®, many slug pellets do NOT work well during wet weather – exactly when you need protection against slugs. Evaporation can also effect the application, so it is best to avoid very bright or windy conditions. It is a good idea to apply at the start and end of the season (March/April and October/November) to kill off early generations and those over-wintering for the following season.

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.

Human hair- probably the best natural deterrent as they don’t like to go across the hair, but I’d be bald before I had enough hair to encircle all my plants. The feeding damage from slugs stops shortly after slugs come into contact with the product; the slugs die underground a while later. This will reduce the number of slugs laying eggs and therefore reduce the new population emerging in the spring. It works at relatively low temperatures and unlike chemical pellets it remains effective under wet conditions.

Garlic, chilli and cinnamon stinky spray- good but only as long as the rain doesn’t wash it off the leaves ( works really well on Hosta leaves in the summertime)Pellets- very effective but I don’t like putting poison into the environment and worry about the birds/ hedgehogs eating the poisoned pests. The treatment only lasts 6 weeks, and to be really effective you have to make sure the product is used before the stated date. Infestations are less serious in dry weather but tend to become a problem during prolonged rainy weather. It is also non-toxic to birds and other wildlife, and is absolutely safe for use around friendly animals or children.BASF, the makers of the Nemasys range and Nemaslug have approved two hose end feeders and provided instructions for their use.
