If you want to apply nematodes to your greenhouse when the outdoor soil temperature is <5ºC (40ºF) please see our underglass/indoor usage category - all nematodes featured in this section are sent 365 days a year.

The control may be a little slower. However, the nematodes are capable of surviving even the odd frost.These pellets are harmless to mammals but there is one downside – they can be harmful to earthworms. As well as ferric phosphate, the pellets contain chelating agents which are toxic to earthworms that consume them, causing them to feed less, lose weight and die. The power of humble earthworms in maintaining a healthy soil ecosystem is not something to be casually dismissed, so it is essential that gardeners use these pellets responsibly. Application Nemaslug Nematodes are easy to apply using a watering can and do not leave any unsightly residues. Each application of nematodes will provide at least six weeks control of slugs. This is generally enough time for seedlings and bedding plants to get well established. The majority of the slugs will die underground, so don't expect to see dead slugs lying around. Til dem af jer, der har have, kan vi allerede nu fortælle jer, at det er ulovligt at sprede salt for at bekæmpe ukrudt, ligesom man ikke selv må formulere og blande et produkt, der kan bekæmpe bladlus. Der findes dog omkring tyve husholdningskemikalier, der er godkendt og tilladt til privat brug, hvoraf brændenældeekstrakt, fruktose, solsikkeolie og eddike er blandt de mest almindelige. Nearby will be evidence of their slime trials. They are particularly fond of succulent seedlings, which when left unprotected, can be totally destroyed in a single night. TIP: Nematodes are capable of surviving the odd frost; so don't worry if the temperature falls after you have applied Nemaslug. Even if nighttime temperatures drop below 5ºC (40ºF), the soil will retain much of the daytime heat.

Some insects are also important predators of slugs, for example ground beetles. As ground beetles feed on slug eggs, they can reduce slug populations before they have inflicted any damage whatsoever. To encourage these important insects, you should provide areas for them to shelter like logs and stones scattered around the garden and possibly under bushes. If your seeds do not seem to have germinated, it is possible that slugs have devoured the emerging seedlings underground. Nemaslug Slug Killer, part of the Nemasys range, is the simple solution for slug control in your garden that is safe for children, pets and wildlife.With the feeder in an upright position, apply evenly to half of the area using a side-to-side motion. Application will take approximately 8 minutes under typical water pressure conditions. Nematoder er en relativ ny metode til at bekæmpe snegle, i hvert fald i Danmark. I Storbritannien har man kunnet købe nematoder i en lang årrække. Denne specielle art af nematoder, kaldet nemaslug, anvendes primært til bekæmpelse af almindelige snegle, selv om der er undersøgelser, der viser, at de også virker mod unge dræbersnegle.

Apply Nemaslug to moist soil. The soil temperature should be 5ºC (40ºF) or over (this is when plants start to grow). Nematodes are capable of surviving the odd frost; so don't worry if the temperature falls after you have applied Nemaslug. Metaldehyde based slug pellets are reported not to be effective below 7ºC. Nemaslug can be applied any time when slugs are present as long as the soil temperature is 5oC (40oF). Nemasys revised their application instructions in May 2016. There is a revised method of application for Nemaslug and the Nemasys range of products. The product is the same as before.The changes are meant to simply the application process and ensure an even dose. Once the nematodes are applied the slugs stop feeding after a few days and die within a week. For total control apply every 6 weeks. Slug nematodes are found naturally in the soil, by applying these you are just topping up.De nematoder, der anvendes til bekæmpelse af snegle, har det videnskabelige artsnavn Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita. Disse nematoder er inficeret med en hurtigtvirkende bakterie kaldet Moraxella osloensis, som kan inficere og dræbe en snegl i løbet af tre dage. One application of Nemaslug provides 300,000 nematodes for every square metre of soil, giving at least six weeks control of slugs. This is generally enough time for seedlings and bedding plants to get well established. Question: How long do slug nematodes last? One application will provide around six weeks control of slugs. Apply Nemaslug to moist soil. The soil temperature should be 5ºC or over (this is also when plants start to grow). Nematodes are capable of surviving the odd frost; so don't worry if the temperature falls after you have applied Nemaslug. Slug pellets are reported not to be effective below 7ºC.
