The traditional methods all have one fatal flaw, they work by attracting slugs! Of course this means that if you get the dose wrong you end up having attracted all the slugs in the area but have not enough pellets to kill them.

Ther are other significant issues with slug pellets, such as:

They're dangerous to humans and animals if eaten
They're not organic
They only affect slugs above ground
They don't work after heavy rain
Requires frequent re-application

Unlike traditional slug control methods nemaslug is not affected by heavy rain unlike slug pellets and other chemical controls. Nemaslug uses a living nematode that occurs naturally in the soil. As it is a living creature it is not washed away by rain, however heavy.

What is Nemaslug Slug Killer?

Nemaslug Slug Killer is a relatively new treatement for the control and erradication of slugs from gardens. It utilises a naturally occuring parasitic nematode which seeks out and destroys slugs.

Unlike traditional treatments that require the slug to ingest a poison, the nematodes locate the slugs and then enter their bodies without the slug even having to come above ground. As a result, the slugs with frequently die underground and out of sight, leaving your vegetables unharmed..
