Product Information

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. Slugs and snails will go for soft juicy growth which is exactly what high nitrogen fertilisers promote. Aim instead for slow, steady growth. Where necessary use organic slow-release fertilisers or specialised feeds such as Chempak Low Nitrogen (good for firming up vegetables and vulnerable plants such as lupins and delphiniums), or Chempak High Potash (to encourage flowering rather than leaf and stem growth). Water in the morning Whichever method you use to apply it is good to re-water everything following application. A good soaking will help the nematodes penetrate the soil. If possible keep the ground watered throughout the treatment period. Once the nematodes have started moving though the soil they will be less vulnerable to surface effects. Getting Results

If you apply Nemaslug in the early autumn you will reduce the number of slugs laying eggs and consequently reduce the new population emerging in the spring. Nematodes live in the soil so, if you can, it is better to apply to the soil. However, if because of dense foliage this is impossible, after application wash them off into the soil with some extra water. If you have a heavy clay area, ensure you apply Nemaslug to well worked soil. The product is less effective on cloggy clay soil, which has not been worked and/or has become waterlogged. Unlike some controls, Nemaslug continues to work well during wet weather - exactly when you need protection against 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. Unlike some controls, Nemaslug continues to work well during wet weather – exactly when you need protection against slugs! Many songbirds thrive on a slug diet; therefore you can make your garden attractive to them by providing nest boxes and areas of dense shrubbery (shelter for them to escape from their own predators, like sparrow hawks).

Nemaslug is a unique product, containing microscopic worms (nematodes) which seek out slugs and stop them feeding on your plants within 3 days and then kill them. Most slug pellets contain metaldehyde, which irritates the slug causing it to produce more mucus leading to death by dehydration. However, slugs can lose up to half of their body weight by dehydration but can still recover within two hours of exposure to water. The soil temperature should be 5ºC (40ºF) 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. Metaldehyde based slug pellets are reported not to be effective below 7ºC. One application of Nemaslug provides 300,000 nematodes - phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita -for every square metre of soil, giving at least six weeks control of slugs which is generally enough time for seedlings and bedding plants to get well established. Nemaslug is easy to use. Simply apply it to your garden soil, and the nematodes will do the rest. One application will provide around six weeks control of slugs.

minutes if treating a lawn. Applications to lawns require more water to wash the nematodes through the grass thatch. 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 No and unlike some other slug control methods, Nemaslug continues to work well during wet weather – exactly when you need protection against slugs! Slugs treated with Nemaslug will stop feeding in 3 days and die in about a week. The majority of the slugs will die underground, so don’t expect to see dead slugs lying around.

Nemaslug is easy to apply and does not leave any unsightly residues. The majority of the slugs will die underground, so don't expect to see dead slugs lying around. Apply between March and October when soil temperature is between 5-30 oC; peak egg laying occurs in March/April and September/October Most slug killers are applied to the surface of the soil. Slugs spend most of their time underground, coming up at night to feed. Sometimes they won’t come up at all if they can feed on potatoes and newly planted seeds as they germinate. Unlike some controls, Nemaslug continues to work well during wet weather – exactly when you need protection against slugs!With the feeder in an upright position, apply evenly to half of the area using a side-to-side motion.
