Nemaslug Slug Killer is fast gaining a reputation as the organic way of winning the garden battle against slugs and this silent killer owes its success - and the adulation of gardeners, allotment owners, kitchen gardeners and vegetable growers across the country - to a greedy little nematode named phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita.
Simple to apply, impossible to overdose and totally safe to use around children, pets and wildlife, Nemaslug Slug Killer slips seamlessly into any organic gardening set-up or otherwise and each treatment will give 6 weeks protection against marauding slugs. Just mix the nematodes with water, choose a watering can with a coarse rose - or make life even easier with a hosepipe applicator - and water on the garden from the start of the growing season once soil temperatures hit 5ºC.
Our range of Nemaslug Slug Killer pack sizes (small and large) and programmes - developed by gardeners for gardeners - will help you find just the right treatment for your garden and allow you to grow slug-free vegetables and plants at last.

• The nemotodes which form Nemasys Chafer Grub Killer will seek out the chafer grubs and attack the pest by entering natural body openings. Once inside, they release bacteria that stops the pest from feeding which quickly kills it. • Nemasys Chafer Grub Killer is a non-chemical and natural pest control for Chafer grubs • Apply to lawns from August to early October • Children and pets do not need excluding from treated area • One pack treats up to 100 square metres • Contains the nematode Heterorhabditis Megidis • Much more cost effective than re-turfing areas or relaying entire lawn!
Application Advice Full details of how to apply the nematodes are provided with the product but we can't stress how important it is to keep the soil moist after application. Failure to do so will severely reduce the effectiveness of the nematodes and they may even die. Ensure you water the soil or lawn immediately after application and keep damp for at least the next two weeks.
As this product has a very definite application window (when the young chafer grubs are most active), we refrain from supplying this product outside of these times when it is unlikely to prove effective. Please Note: this item will be despatched at the optimum time for application which will now be from August 2011
