Product Information

After placing them around the base of the plant the pellets are thoroughly watered. This causes them swell and bind together forming a dense matt which isn’t disturbed by wind or rain. Although wool pellets are quite pricey the mat will last for up to 12 months and has the bonus of acting as a mulch which will supress weeds and retain moisture, breaking down naturally in the soil to slowly release nutrients. Start your slug control early and apply at least a week before planting to ensure your garden is safe from slugs. Most slug pellets contain metaldehyde, which irritates the slug causing it to produce more mucus leading to death by dehydration. However, slugs can lose up to half of their body weight by dehydration but can still recover within two hours of exposure to water.

Unlike some controls, Nemaslug continues to work well during wet weather – exactly when you need protection against slugs! Nemaslug uses the nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita.

Application

Slugs breed all year with two overlapping generations, the peak egg laying is Mar-Apr and Sept-Oct. Applying Nemaslug every six weeks is the best way to keep slugs at bay throughout the growing season. For outdoor/glasshouse/polytunnel applications use when slugs are active and Soil temperature is Consistently above 5 °C. NEMAslug contains millions of tiny nematodes called Heterorhabditis hermaphrodita which actively seek out all kinds of slugs and infect them with a bacteria which will stop them from feeding and kill them. The nematodes will then leave the corpse and seek out more slugs and snails. Unlike other slug controls you will not see dead slugs as they go underground to die. As NEMAslug is so safe, it can be used on all edible crops and ornamentals. The nematodes can also be used to control (nude) snails such as field snails (Deroceras sp.), many bottom snails (Oxyloma sp.) and road snails (Arion sp.).

Nemaslug is a unique product, containing microscopic worms (nematodes) which seek out slugs and stop them feeding on your plants within 3 days and then kill them. Nemaslug is best applied on an overcast, dull, and cloudy afternoon, these nematodes can also be applied in the evening – don’t apply this treatment on bright, sunny days as the intense light will lessen the effectiveness of the treatment, as these nematodes are soil dwelling creatures that thrive in darkness. If you have a heavy clay area, ensure you apply Nemaslug to well worked soil. The product is less effective on cloggy clay soil, which has not been worked and/or has become waterlogged. The 'Miracle-Gro Hose End Feeder' has been tested and approved for applying the Nematodes listed below by Nematodes Direct and can also be used for applying liquid feed to plants and lawns. A regular regime of using Nemaslug every six weeks is the best way to keep slugs at bay throughout the growing season.Question: What happens if the temperature falls after I have applied my slug nematodes?
