Unlike some controls, Nemaslug continues to work well during wet weather - exactly when you need protection against slugs! Nemaslug® works at temperatures above 5c/40f, so apply UNDERGLASS all year round OR apply OUTDOORS during the growing season i. Slugs come in many shapes and sizes and are commonplace around the garden, particularly in damp conditions.

Start your control early and you will be able to target the young slugs growing underground before they do any damage. Please note that the soil temperature should be 5ºC (40ºF) or over, however, Nematodes are capable of surviving the odd frost.Lots of lovely products that you often can’t find at garden centres because a lot of large companies don’t seen to be that interested in “green” products, only the big sellers. The feeding damage from slugs stops shortly after slugs come into contact with the product; the slugs die underground a while later. Nemaslug can be applied any time when slugs are present as long as the soil temperature is 5oC (40oF). There are other creatures (like caterpillars) who make big holes in leaves, but if you see the tell-tale slime, then slugs are the culprit!

The nematodes are found naturally in UK soil, and they have been approved for use in organic gardening by the Soil Association.As well as attacking the leafy parts of plants, slugs will also feast on your fruit and vegetable crop. I used twice the recommended concentration, or more accurately I went over the same ground twice using the correct concentration, because I wanted to make sure this would work. These parasitic worms eat the slugs under the soil during the day,so there should be no lettuce-munching monsters left to come out and ravage the vegetable patch at night.

If applying in hot weather it is better to wait till later in the day when the soil won’t dry out so quickly and the nematodes will have a chance to migrate under the ground during the night. Please note that Nemaslug may kill water snails, so if you have a pond or water course avoid applying within 15cm. One application of Nemaslug will provide at least six weeks control of slugs, we recommend that you re-apply every 6 weeks for the ultimate protection from slugs. This 4litre mix is then diluted into a 5l watering can- you take 500ml of the mix, put it in the watering can and then fill it with water like normal and apply to the ground/pots.

As the saying goes, the early bird gets the worm, and in your case, the early gardener gets the rhubarb. Once the nematodes have started moving though the soil they will be less vulnerable to surface effects.
