Full Description
Slug Nematodes are the No.1 bird/wildlife friendly solution for slugs. They will not harm children, pets, birds and wildlife. Song birds i.e. thrushes, hedgehogs, frogs, toads and some insects i.e. ground beetles love to feed on slugs and their eggs. These predators have a significant impact on the slug population, but many of the chemicals used in slug pellets can be toxic to these predators, so if you use them, you run the risk of harming them. There are also increasing concerns about the effects of these chemicals on pets. Unlike Slug Nematodes, many slug pellets do NOT work well during wet weather – exactly when you need protection against slugs. PLUS nematodes kills slugs BOTH above and below ground.
Each pack of Green Gardener Slug Nematodes contains 12 million microscopic beneficial nematodes (Phasmarhabditis Hermaphrodita) that occur naturally in your soil. They are invisible to the naked eye and come as a powder, which is mixed with water and applied to the soil where they search out and invade the slugs. As the nematodes invade the slug, it will stop feeding, so your plants are safe and will burrow underground to die. As it decomposes in the soil, the nematodes are released back into the soil to search out more slugs and the whole process starts again. They work at temperatures above 5c/40f, so apply UNDERGLASS all year round OR apply OUTDOORS during the growing season i.e. between March and November. Each application of Slug Nematodes will control slugs for six weeks, so for a slug free garden, apply it every 6 weeks. Being a living, perishable product (it will keep for 2 weeks in the fridge), order it when you are ready to apply or select your dispatch date below.
How is it sent? – Sent out fresh by Royal Mail 1st TRACKED post, it fine on the doormat while you are at work. Being a perishable, living product, it must be used before the expiry date (which is marked on the pack and will be at least 2 weeks) and it must be stored in the fridge until it is needed.

Good products, been using slug nematodes for the past few years and have noticed a reduction in the number of larger slugs in the garden. will keep on using them even though it won’t get rid of them all. Feel good using environmental friendly pest control. The vine weevil nematodes have definitely worked too.

I ordered some slug nematodes from Green Gardener. They arrived very promptly and were in very good condition, this is important as they are ‘live’ product. Now used and active in the soil in my garden. I’m very pleased.

Having had such a wet mild winter, we experienced an explosions of slugs and snails. The snails I dealt with but the dahlias were being eaten by tiny slugs that emerged from the earth at night. I treated the area with nematodes and within about 3 days the problem ceased. The dahlias are now a healthy size and almost ready to flower. Next year, I will treat just as the dahlias start to emerge.
