Nemaslug Alternative
Treats 40 sqm - use when soil temperature is above 5°C. This is a great alternative to Nemaslug, it works in exactly the same way.
We supply packs of microscopic beneficial nematodes, Phasmarhabditis californica, (eelworms) which are watered into pots or open ground. This is a perishable product, do not buy in advance.
You can read the application instructions 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 nematodes, Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita, 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 is the second year for me to use slug control nematodes. Delivery is always prompt. Good instructions therefore easy to apply. There has been a definite reduction, my daliah and hostas looking much better this year."
"I last used this product 2 years ago, and noticed a huge reduction in the number of slugs and the damage they cause to my plants, for several months, following an early application of the Nematodes. I trust they will be just as effective this year, and remove all those hungry slugs that otherwise munch their way through my Yarrow and Poppies. I forgot to buy them last year and paid the price with many of my Yarrows getting wiped out. In theory slugs aren't even supposed to like Yarrow, but they certainly did like my young and fresh Yarrow foliage last year. The nematodes are a far better treatment than pellets, which leave a disgusting slug trail mess, after the slugs have consumed them, and also endanger other wildlife including birds. Hopefully the nematodes don't cause the slugs too much suffering either, but unfortunately either way their numbers are so rampant that they have to be controlled."
"Brilliant Tessa really knows her stuff, her website is full of information and I find the prices compared with garden centre/online products are very competitive. I have used this item for 18 months and it really works, there are so many less slugs eating my plants!!"
"Speedy delivery With clear instructions"

"I am still getting slugs."
"10 plus stars if they had them!!! Nemotodes purchased and only place I buy them from for my garden."
"Delivery was prompt and I was kept updated on dispatch and delivery times. Very happy with the service. Have used the nematodes as directed, which was quick and easy. Fingers crossed it keeps the slugs off my dahlias this summer. Seems great so far. . . . . ."
"Arrived on time in good condition. Clear instructions."
