NemaKnightsTM Nematodes Biological Slug Control provides a natural, biological solution for controlling common garden slugs. 100% pesticide free, this extended slow-release treatment offers a safe alternative to chemical controls and is harmless to wildlife, pets and humans.
Fast acting and easy to use, slugs stop feeding within 24–48 hours of application. Simply open the flip-top lid, shake the pearls onto the affected area and water in thoroughly. There is no need for refrigeration, making storage and application simple and convenient.
Based on encapsulated Nematodes phasmarhabditis species, this biological control remains effective during wet weather when slug activity is often at its highest. Unlike conventional slug pellets, it will not wash away and can be safely used around edible crops.
Treats up to 20m² (215sq ft). Apply when soil temperatures are above 8°C and repeat every 6–8 weeks as required throughout the growing season. For best results, apply in the early morning or evening when nematodes are less exposed to ultraviolet light.
Nematodes are naturally occurring microscopic soil organisms that actively seek out slugs. Once infected, slugs stop feeding and the biological process works rapidly to reduce damage to vulnerable crops and young plants. The nematodes continue working in the soil while slug populations remain present.
Starting treatment early helps target young slugs developing beneath the soil surface before significant feeding damage occurs. Slugs are most active when plants are growing strongly and soil temperatures rise, making preventative treatment particularly effective.
Ideal for protecting vegetables, herbs and ornamental plantings, helping gardeners enjoy healthier crops and better harvests through a natural approach to slug management.
