Slug Nematodes 30million (Treats 100sq.m)

Whow, these nematodes were fresh and hungry! I have used this product before, but not from this supplier. Would recommend supplier and product with no hesitation. We have huge and voracious slugs - revolting and destructive. I use a hose applicator and actually watered the Nemaslug in during a rain shower - the following morning not a slug to be seen!. Last year, I had to wait a few days, but nope, these nematodes were raring to go. It really is a dream product - just get more than you need, as you cannot overdose. Water it in well, and water the area as normally after the first 48 hours, so that the little beasties can wash right down into the soil and start feeding on the slugs and eggs ... GRREAT! I notice a reduction in snail population too, although it is not supposed to affect snails, but I reckon the nematodes like the baby snails underground as a change! This product is one which I apply with a huge sigh of relief, as I LOATHE slugs and ours just sneer at any slug-killer and walk over it. Once this stuff is watered in, they just stop appearing - no bodies, no squelchy, exploding bombs under foot in the dark, nothing - occasionally the odd torpid, stiff slug makes its way out, but they are obviously not happy or healthy, hooray. Oh I am cruel .... The 'every six weeks' application is approximate, but not far out - once you see slugs appearing, get some more - and do apply a final dose at the end of the season to kill off those pesky, revolting eggs, to give a bit of a start for the next growing season. Here in S. Devon, the slug season is really all year, so I bless the day that a farmer friend of mine from Wales told me about nematodes. The stuff is not even gruesome, just like cream-coloured damp flour. It keeps well in the fridge and they supply it with a good use-by date. Go on, if you hate slugs like me, try it - well worth it.!

This took a while to rid the garden of slugs but it has eventually done a pretty decent job. While they're not completely gone I'd say they're down 90% and I'd call that a success.

Very effective organic way of controlling slug damage. Ideally needs wet ground to apply successfully. Mine had a short expirey date and as I apply them with another nematode which arrived later I had a narrow window of only seven days in which to apply them. Including preparation the time needed for me to apply 100 m2 was four hours so its not something I wanted to do twice. Given the unpredictable weather at this time of year you do need a bit of leeway.

Appears to have worked quite well though it has been very dry lately so it is hard to tell just how well they work. I have been buying this product for a few years now and the last 2 batches have both been difficult to dissolve properly and have repeatedly clogged the watering can rose during dispensing which is very irritating hence only 3 stars.

Arrived as promised. Slug damage definitely reduced

My vegetable patch was remarkably clear of slugs and snails, within a couple of days of using it. I will buy it again, but not in the 100 square meter pack. Remember that you have to use it fairly quickly after receipt, and that the method of mixing is a bit tedious. You have to mix a stock solution and then dilute it into another 10 litre watering can before using. This took an incredibly long time. No matter how much I kept stirring the original stock solution, I found when I got to the last few dilutions, that the stock mix was thick and sludgy in the bottom of the watering can. I'll definitely buy a smaller pack though, and treat the required areas by rotation.

This is a great hedgehog friendly way to get rid of slugs, you have to treat the whole garden once every six weeks, the nematodes are little creatchers that kill the slugs whilst they are under ground, before they have a chance to eat your veg seedlings.Its best to soak the ground first and then you add some of the stuff (nematodes) it looks like powder, to your watering can, add water and water the whole garden, you only need to do this once every six weeks.THIS IS THE BEST STUFF ON THE MARKETIts fairly expensive but well worth it because its safe for hedgehogs pets and children, and the customer service is brilliant.

Used it in spring 2 years in a row. Didn’t use it last year and couldn’t grow delphiniums or lupins. Slugs all over the garden. Don’t use slug pellets and this is an organic alternative.
