FAQs

What are slug nematodes?

Slug nematodes, also known as Phasmarhabditis californica, are microscopic, transparent worms that are natural parasites of slugs. They enter the slug, feed on it, and multiply, effectively killing the slug and preventing further damage to plants.

How often should I apply Nemaslug?

For total control, apply Nemaslug every 6 weeks throughout the slug season, which typically runs from February/March to October.

Can I use Nemaslug if I have pets or children?

Yes, Nemaslug is completely safe to use around children, pets, and wildlife. It is a natural biological control method.

What is the shelf life of Nemaslug nematodes?

Nemaslug nematodes are a live product and have a limited shelf life, usually around two weeks from receipt. It is crucial to use the entire pack before the expiry date.

When is the best time to apply Nemaslug?

The best time to apply is when the soil temperature is above 5°C (41°F) and the soil is moist. This is generally from February/March through to October.

How do I apply the nematodes?

You can apply the nematodes using a watering can or a specific nematode applicator. Mix the contents with water as per the instructions and apply to moist soil.

What should I do if there's a frost after application?

Nematodes are capable of surviving odd frosts, so a slight drop in temperature after application should not be a concern.

Can I return Nemaslug if I don't use it?

No, due to the nature of the product being live and having a limited shelf life, Nemaslug is non-returnable.

Troubleshooting

Nematodes appear ineffective after application.

Ensure soil temperature was above 5°C during application and that the soil remained moist for two weeks afterward. Reapplication may be necessary if conditions were suboptimal.

Difficulty mixing nematodes.

Follow the dilution instructions carefully. Ensure water is at the correct temperature and mix thoroughly to distribute nematodes evenly.

Slugs still present after one week.

Verify that the product was applied correctly to moist soil and that the soil has not dried out. Check the expiry date of the nematodes; older product may be less viable.
