Slug Nematodes

What are Slug Nematodes used for?

Slug Nematodes are an effective natural way of controlling pests in your garden to get rid of slugs in your garden. These tiny, transparent worms reside within slugs, where they feed and reproduce. They pose no harm to children, pets, or wildlife. These nematodes naturally occur in soil, and applying them simply boosts their population.

How do I apply the Slug Nematodes?

Ensure you apply early morning or late evening to reduce the effect of sunlight and heat.

Tips to ensure the best conditions:

- The soil should be moist at the time of application
-  Keep the soil moist for 3-4 weeks after application
- The whole spray once mixed should be applied.
- Do not store it for longer than 4 hours
- Use with a watering can with a coarse road head
- Keep Nematode solutions agitated all the time

For drench applications over foliage - water within 30 minutes of applying to wash nematodes off the leaves and below the soil surface.

What is the best way to apply the nematodes?

Nematodes can easily be applied with the Nematode Sprayer, the nematode watering can or just the watering can rose on your own watering can.
