Nemaslug Slug Killer Standard Pack treats 40 sq m

Product Information

I’ve also discovered we have a visiting hedgehog, so thrilled that my garden is now a greener and safer place for the wildlife. BASF, the makers of the Nemasys range and Nemaslug have approved two hose end feeders and provided instructions for their use. The beneficial worms live in the ground and penetrate a slug’s body via its respiratory opening (mantle cavity). 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.

I recently planted a surplus second crop of beans in an area that had not been treated with the nemaslug and these plants got completely eaten, whereas the plants in the treated area are now 7ft high!There is a manufacuturing issue with BASF nematodes so these are not available until end of Feb 2024. Please note that the soil temperature should be 5ºC (40ºF) or over, however, Nematodes are capable of surviving the odd frost.

To calculate your area measure the width and length of the area to be treated and multiply them by each other e. The nematodes are found naturally in UK soil, and they have been approved for use in organic gardening by the Soil Association.Follow the instructions on the pack, which will vary depending on the size of pack you have purchased. Venturing bravely out in the night with the aid of a torch I found and disposed of around thirty slugs, but it was clear that I needed to do more than that. 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. Nemaslug can be applied any time when slugs are present as long as the soil temperature is 5oC (40oF) (this is also when plants start to grow).
