Description

If you want to stop seedlings, leafy plants and fruit and veg from being devoured by slugs, nematodes are a great wildlife-friendly alternative to slug pellets. They’re easy to apply, chemical free and will reduce the slug population in your garden or allotment.

The tiny worm-like organisms are naturally found in soils prone to molluscs. Added to water and applied to the garden they’ll seek out and infect slugs, producing a natural bacterium which sees them off.

Slugs usually succumb within 7-10 days. They’ll be completely broken down by the nematodes, releasing a now-multiplied colony into the soil. Treatment stays active for 6 weeks, so a single dose protects plants when they're emerging in spring and at their most vulnerable.

This pack contains 10 million nematodes, enough to treat an area of approximately 30m2.

When to use:

Refrigerate promptly upon receipt and use as soon as possible (within 3 days of arrival). For best results, use in late spring or summer when soil is above 5°C. Choose a wet or humid day and apply early in the morning or early in the evening. Avoid bright sunshine and frosty conditions.

In greenhouses and conservatories you can apply nematodes at any time, all year round.

How to apply:

1. First make up a concentrate by opening the sachet and mixing the contents into one litre of lukewarm water. Stir until dissolved.

2. Pour 333ml of this concentrate into a watering can and top up with water until you reach 10 litres. A 10 litre watering can will treat an area of up to 10m2.

3. Apply the nematode solution over the soil/compost area you wish to treat.

Key features:

  • 100% natural and organic slug treatment
  • Safe for humans, pets, plants, earthworms, bees and birds
  • Easy to apply - dilute in water
