The native parasitic
nematode species PHASMARHABDITA HERMAPHRODITA,
more conveniently known as the commercial
product NEMASLUG, attacks all common species
of small to medium-sized slugs in the soil,
outdoors and under glass. The nematodes invade
the slug at a juvenile stage and complete
their development under the "saddle" on its
back, killing it meanwhile with
bacteria. The slugs die underground and
nematodes spread out from the victims to
infect other slugs.
Minimum soil temperature 5C (41F)
One treatment will give protection for
about 6 weeks so apply the nematodes shortly
before sowing, planting out vulnerable
seedlings, or the emergence of herbaceous
perennials susceptible to slugs.
Can affect small snails also, do not
use within 15cm (6 ") of ponds.
Not so effective in waterlogged heavy
clay soils which impede the movement of the
nematodes.
