Product Information

Full details

Designed for organic gardeners and allotment owners looking to manage slug populations, these biological control nematodes provide a natural, non-toxic solution for protecting vegetable plots, flower beds, and ornamental borders. By utilizing the parasite Phasmarhabditis californica, the treatment effectively targets slugs while remaining perfectly safe for children, pets, birds, and pollinators. However, because this is a live biological product, it requires specific storage conditions and timely application, making it less suitable for those who cannot commit to a regular maintenance schedule or maintain proper refrigeration.

FAQs

Are these safe for my dog or cat?

Yes, the nematodes are completely safe for pets and pose no risk to mammals.

Can I eat vegetables immediately after treatment?

Yes, there is no harvest waiting period required, making them safe for all edible crops.

How often do I need to re-apply?

For consistent control, apply every six weeks throughout the growing season.

Will this kill bees or other pollinators?

No, the nematodes are specific to slugs and are harmless to bees and other garden pollinators.

Can I store the pack in the freezer?

No, you must store the product in a refrigerator below 5°C. Freezing will kill the live nematodes.

What happens if the soil is too dry?

Nematodes need moisture to move through the soil. Always water the soil before and after application to ensure they can reach the target slugs.

Troubleshooting

Nematodes are not providing effective control.

Ensure soil is sufficiently moist and temperatures are mild. Re-apply if the initial application was followed by extreme dry spells or frost.

Product arrived but cannot be applied immediately.

Keep the sealed packaging in a refrigerator below 5°C. Do not store at room temperature for extended periods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Upon receiving your nematodes, store them immediately in a refrigerator at a temperature below 5°C. Do not freeze the product. Ensure you check the expiration date on the packaging, as these are live organisms that lose potency over time.

Before application, ensure the soil is moist. If the ground is dry, water it thoroughly before treating. After mixing the nematodes with water, apply them immediately to the target areas. The product is compatible with most soil types and can be used in conjunction with other organic gardening practices, provided no chemical molluscicides are used, as these will kill the beneficial nematodes.
