Nemaslug Slug Killer Standard Pack treats 40 sq m

Product Information

Adhering strictly to the application timings will ensure that any remaining colour in the bowl will be due to the inert carrier only and that you have performed an even application. Nemaslug uses the nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita, which was discovered by scientists at the government research institute at Bristol, England. Nemaslug is easy to apply and does not leave any unsightly residues. The majority of the slugs will die underground, so don't expect to see dead slugs lying around. Nemaslug has the advantage over organic pellets in that it continues to work well in wet weather and numerous experiments have demonstrated that it is completely harmless to earthworms along with insects and other organisms. Slug and snail control: A military strategy Use a combination of methods Nemaslug contains nematodes, which are microscopic worms that seek out and kill slugs. The nematodes are found naturally in UK soil, and they have been approved for use in organic gardening by the Soil Association.

One treatment of Nemaslug should last for six weeks at least, repeat applications will ensure that high numbers of this parasitic nematode remain in your soil to control the numbers of slugs and snails in your area. Keeping the soil moist after you’ve applied this biological control will enable the nematodes to move freely through the soil in the treated area to predate on the slugs and snails, ensuring that your treatment will be more effective.

This Hose End Feeder is ideal for applying Nemasys Nematodes.

Once the nematodes are applied the slugs stop feeding after a few days and die within a week. For total control apply every 6 weeks. Start your slug control early and apply at least a week before planting to ensure your garden is safe from slugs.

Nematodes live in the soil so, if you can, it is better to apply to the soil. However, if because of dense foliage this is impossible, after application wash them off into the soil with some extra water. Nemaslug® Biological Slug Killer kills snails as well as slugs. This nematode will also kill water snails, so take care if you are applying this treatment anywhere near a pond, and avoid using Nemaslug close to waterways. Nemaslug is safe for children, pets, and wildlife. These nematodes are safe for use on all edible plants. Question: What happens if the temperature falls after I have applied my slug nematodes? The control may be a little slower. However, the nematodes are capable of surviving even the odd frost.Selvom at det er vigtigt at handle tidligt på sæsonen, er det også vigtigt at vente, indtil jordtemperaturen er rigtig. Man bør først vande nematoderne ud i haven, når det tidlige forår er ved at være her. For at sikre den bedst mulige bekæmpelse, bør man forstsætte udvandingen af nematoder hele sæsonen. Sådan får du mest muligt ud af nematoder Hvis du kunne tænke dig at bruge nematoder, gælder tommelfingerreglen “jo før jo bedre”. For at præcisere: bestanden af snegle er mere skrøbelig, jo tidligere på sæsonen man er. Det betyder, at en tidlig bekæmpelse af bestanden vil gøre det meget vanskeligere for populationen af snegle at genetablere sig. Nemaslug is applied very simply using a watering can with a coarse rose or with a hose end feeder (we sell both). If you apply Nemaslug in the early autumn you will reduce the number of slugs laying eggs and consequently reduce the new population emerging in the spring. Rundorme, dvs. nematoder, anvendes i stigende grad som et miljøvenlig og yderst effektivt middel mod dræbersnegle. Den type af nematoder, der som oftest bruges mod dræbersnegle, kaldes Nemaslug-nematoder.
