Collection: Nematodes

What are Nematodes?

Nematodes are a commonly used biological control for many plant pests, microscopic beneficial nematodes (eel worms) which are watered into pots, trays or open ground.

Parasitic nematodes seek out suitable hosts by swimming in the thin film of water on soil particles.  

Don't forget that these are live creatures, and cannot be stored - you can keep them in the fridge for a week or so, up until the use by date on the packet, but after that the nematodes will slowly die off.  

What can you treat with Nematodes?

Nematodes are really popular for slugs, Vine Weevil, Chafer Grub, Leatherjacket, Ants and Fungus Gnat (Sciarid Fly).  See below for the solutions we offer.
