Got a question about using nematodes?  You may find the answer here

Slugs eat leaves, stems and roots of plants, weakening them and often causing them to die.

They leave slimy trails over plants and soil, and are particularly devastating to seedlings and cuttings. Slugs leave their own individual scent trails so they can find their way home. There are other creatures (like caterpillars) who make big holes in leaves, but if you see the tell-tale slime, then slugs are the culprit!

Slugs come in many shapes and sizes and are commonplace around the garden, particularly in damp conditions.

Infestations are less serious in dry weather but tend to become a problem during prolonged rainy weather. An individual grey field slug has the potential to produce 90,000 grandchildren and has approximately 27,000 teeth!

They live underground during the day, emerging at night to feed. One cubic metre of garden will on average contain up to 200 slugs.

We supply packs of microscopic beneficial parasitic nematodes (eelworms) which are watered into pots or open ground with a watering can or hose. 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.

This pack treats 40 square metres, we also sell a 100 square metre pack.

Use as soon as the soil reaches 5°C and every 6 weeks until the ground cools late summer to keep slugs away.

When you receive your nematodes put them in he fridge until you are ready to apply them. Use them before the date stated on the pack. The day that you are going to be using them allow them to reach room temperature. Follow the instructions detailed on the inside of the pack. You will need a bucket and either a watering can with a rose or a hose end feeder.

Great product

"Lovely item and a helpful instruction leaflet included about various pests, which is a nice touch. The mixture did our front and back gardens and all the pots easily. Make sure you keep mixing it before adding to your watering can. Will definitely be back for more."

Nematodes for slugs

"Delivered within 48 hours for ordering. I use nematodes for slugs every year in my raised beds. Great for getting at the small underground slugs that do the damage to root crops. Works for me."

— Laurence (5/5)

Great stuff - if you're not a slug!

"Great product, marked lack of slugs especially if you subscribe and apply it promptly. Your Dahlias will thank you!"

— Vicki B. (5/5)

Year on year no slugs

"Year on year I buy this and now I have hostas for the entire year, proof that they work as before I had leafless hostas! I don’t have a rough rose for the watering can so I don’t use one at all and spray as best I can."

— Bak (5/5)
