The advantages of Nemaslug Slug Killer nematodes for organic gardeners

If you are an organic gardener, you will, in all likelihood, be more than aware of the damaging effects that garden pests can have on your seedlings, ornamental plants and vegetables. Slugs are among the most familiar garden pests, and cause damage in the garden by eating and making holes in leaves, flowers, stems, tubers and bulbs. There are about seven slug species that are garden pests, and they can cause damage all year round on a wide range of plants, with seedlings and new growth on herbaceous plants in spring being particularly vulnerable.

Slugs are so abundant in gardens that you are always going to have to tolerate some damage. As you won’t be able to eradicate them, you will instead need to target control measures on the protection of the most vulnerable plants.

Introducing Nemaslug Slug Killer nematodes

If you need some help with your slug problem, consider Nemaslug Slug Killer nematodes. Nematodes are natural organisms that can already be found in UK soil. As they prey on garden pests, they are a perfect natural garden pest control that is not only safe but also friendly to the environment.

They are aggressive organisms that attack the pest by directly entering the insect, and once inside, they release bacteria that quickly kill the pest by preventing it from feeding. The nematodes then reproduce inside the dead pest, releasing the next generation of hungry nematodes, which then seek additional prey, meaning that pest control can be assured for many weeks.

Nematodes can be easily applied by gardeners from live packs, and when they can no longer find prey, they die back to their original numbers. This has made nematode products popular with commercial growers around the world for more than two decades.

Finding and using nematodes

You should buy nematodes from a reputable mail order supplier so that you can be assured that the stock is fresh. Once you have applied the nematodes to the soil, which is easy to do, wash any nematodes off the plants with fresh clean water.

You should plan to control slugs from early in the season when they are young and haven’t yet begun their damage.
