Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers

Q: How do these nematodes control slugs?

A: Nematodes enter the slug and start to reproduce which stops the slug feeding and they eventually die and the nematodes move from the decomposing slug into soil to look for more slugs.

Q: Are they safe for pets and wildlife?

A: Yes. Slug-control nematodes are safe for pets, wildlife, and plants when used as directed because they specifically target slugs.

Q: When should I apply nematodes?

A: They work best when soil temperatures are above 5°C and the soil is moist. They can be used throughout the slug season when conditions are suitable.

Q: How is this different from regular nematode sprays?

A: Instead of applying nematodes all over your garden to find slugs, they are highly attracted to the bait, and when they feed on it, the nematodes infect them. You don’t have to rely on nematodes finding slugs in the soil or spray them over your garden. Just unscrew the cap and place in-between your plants.

Q: How long does it take to work?

A: Slugs typically stop feeding after being infected by nematodes populations after eating the bait.

Q: Are nematodes safe for pets, wildlife, and plants?

A: Yes. These nematodes specifically target slugs and do not harm humans, insects, earthworms, pets or plants.

Q: Where and how should I place the bait?

A: Place the bait in areas with slug activity around plants, beds, or containers. Ensure soil is moist for best results and make sure you don’t place the bait in direct sunlight.

Q: Will they harm earthworms or beneficial insects?

A: No. The nematode species used targets slugs and does not harm earthworms, plants, or beneficial insects.
