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. Buy the 3 treatment programme for 18 weeks worth of protection and save £4.00 on postage

"Conclusion: Once you've got past the fiddle of laying and planting through this material, it performed best out of all our bought-in trials, and was the only one to provide perfect protection". 9/10 Grow Your Own magazine, August 2008
"This fabric, called Tex-R, has been impregnated on one side with copper, which the makers say slugs and snails hate and either won't attempt to cross or just sit on it. You can snip it to size to form a barrier under pots and around individual plants, or cut slits to plant in a row. I liked the fact that this barrier is reusable and is not affected by weather. As well as deterring slugs, it retains moisture, has insulating properties and keeps weeds at bay - so it has a lot going for it and is great value. Also available in rolls up to 16ft x 2ft 9in (5m x 90cm) or as pot mats. Remember if it's plants in pots you want to protect, you have to ensure your pots are completely slug-free first, removing any eggs from beneath the surface of the compost."
