Full Description
Effective Nematodes for Slugs: Natural Control
Nemaslug® is the No.1 bird/wildlife friendly solution for slugs. Nemaslug® will not harm children, pets, birds and wildlife. Song birds i.e. thrushes, hedgehogs, frogs, toads and some insects i.e. ground beetles love to feed on slugs and their eggs. These predators have a significant impact on the slug population, but many of the chemicals used in slug pellets can be toxic to these predators, so if you use them, you run the risk of harming them. There are also increasing concerns about the effects of these chemicals on pets. Unlike Nemaslug®, many slug pellets do NOT work well during wet weather – exactly when you need protection against slugs. Nemaslug® also kills slugs BOTH above and below ground.
Nemaslug® contains millions of microscopic beneficial nematodes (Phasmarhabditis Californica) that occur naturally in your soil. They are invisible to the naked eye and come as a powder, which is mixed with water and applied to the soil where they search out and invade the slugs. As the nematodes invade the slug, it will stop feeding, so your plants are safe and will burrow underground to die. As it decomposes in the soil, the nematodes are released back into the soil to search out more slugs and the whole process starts again. Nemaslug® works at temperatures above 5c/40f, so apply UNDERGLASS all year round OR apply OUTDOORS during the growing season i.e. between March and November. Each application of Nemaslug® will control slugs for six weeks, so for a slug free garden, apply Nemaslug® every 6 weeks. Nemaslug is a perishable product (it will keep for 2 weeks in the fridge), so order when you are ready to apply or select your dispatch date below. Each application of Nemaslug controls slugs for 6 weeks, so for a slug free garden, re-apply each 6 weeks – see our Planned Programmes of packs sent a 6 weekly intervals.
How is it sent? – Nemaslug® is a perishable, living product, so it is sent out fresh by Royal Mail 1st TRACKED post, but they are fine on the doormat while you are at work. Being a perishable, living product, it must be used before the expiry date (which is marked on the inside of the pack and will be at least 2 weeks) and it must be stored in the fridge until it is needed. Once opened, the contents do not keep, so it must be used in one day – do NOT store the made up solution or powder.
How to apply? – Nemaslug® is easy to use. An improved easymix formulae means Nemaslug 2.0 is easier to mix and dissolve meaning application is simple. Mix the harmless powder with water & apply to the soil around the plant using a watering can fitted with a Coarse Rose or the NemaCan Watering Can or use an EasyNem Applicator or Hose-end Feeder for larger areas.

The Nemaslug I ordered was dispatched & received very promptly with a generous lead time for ‘use by’, important in our area of the south east where rainfall can be scant just when you need it. Within a few days of the product being used I have noticed signs that slugs activity is slowing down. Good service and a good product
Ian F (verified owner) –
We had a plague of very large slugs, mainly concentrated underneath our many bird feeders. One wet evening I counted forty plus slugs, some three inches long. The slug nematodes were used as recommended and within a week we could find only isolated individuals around the garden.”
Pauline Smith –
It’s really good saves my hostas from being decimated
Jonathan Ussher (verified owner) –
NEMASLUG HAS BEEN A SAVIOUR FOR MY VEGETABLES AND BUMBLE BEES POLLINATE MY GARDEN EVERY YEAR. WE SHOULD ALL LOOK TO METHODS OF CONTROL THAT DO NOT HARM BIRDS AND INCREASE THE BEE POPULATION!!”
Tim –
Does the job!
Lesley Halley –
I use Nemaslug every spring before the slugs get very big and start breeding, it’s usually fairly sure to rain frequently so I don’t have to water the garden so much! I mop up any stragglers with beer traps and my frogs and the neighbourhood hedgehog get the rest. No way I’d use poison as I don’t want the local wildlife to ingest a poisoned slug or snail. An excellent product which I have recommended to many friends
Maria –
I’ve used this for slug control but does it work on snails too as I have more of them !?
Jon (verified owner) –
Thanks for the question and snails are much harder to kill than slugs but the nematodes will work especially on the young snails, so keep applying them and as the older snails die / are predated on, if there are less young snails, then your numbers will decrease.
Heather Parylo (verified owner) –
We have used the slug killer before and are impressed with how effective it is

I used the nematodes last year and am sure they made a difference. I was plagued by slugs of all sizes but there are definitely less at the moment.
Anonymous (verified owner) –
Excellent service as usual, arrived promptly. Usually keeps our little slug friends on the run. Will definitely order more for later in the year.
Andrew Farmer (verified owner) –
Nemaslug arrived very quickly. Always had success with them before but didn’t use them last year which is partly why we lost so many plants. Here’s to a better year this year.
June Clarke (verified owner) –
I nematodes every few weeks during summer and have been doing for a few years. No more slugs and snails and nice uneaten plants. Always fast delivery.
Valerie Bird (verified owner) –
Very pleased with not only the timely delivery but also the results. My nicotiana have recovered as well as a suffering dahlia. I’ve done two doses with the required distance apart. I’ll certainly be using them next year and earlier.”
Caroline Cheung (verified owner) –
Bought slug nematodes, ordered on Monday and package arrived by Wednesday. Efficient service and product did exactly what it said it would. No more slugs eating my plants
Angela Hadley (verified owner) –
I ordered nematodes for a slug problem in the garden. Last year I used them every six weeks and there were noticeably fewer slugs. I didn’t get round to it at the beginning of this year and I’ve been plagued with them even with such dry weather. I’ve just done a late application in the hope there will be fewer overwintering slugs. I learned my lesson.
chris pritchard –
excellent product
Jon (verified owner) –
Thanks for the message and there as some species of nematodes that in lab conditions may affect bees (there are hundreds of species of nematodes) but the ones used in Nemaslug have not been shown to have any effect and are safe for bees. Kind regards Jon @ Green Gardener
Gaynor Baker (verified owner) –
Thank you for your good service, items were all sent promptly and what I ordered. I like all the natural products and will order more next year. I belong to my local Horticultural Society and have recommended you to our members.

Have been using NemaSlug to great effect.
pauline shanley (verified owner) –
I use Nemaslug and it is an extremely effective product. We use it regularly through spring and summer and we have no problem with slugs and snails. The bonus I’d that it is a natural product.

I buy nemaslug every year and various other bits and pieces. Always outstanding and personal service from them. Definitely a five star company.
Jill Burrage (verified owner) –
Used these last year to save my collection of beautiful hostas that are the slugs equivalent of McDonalds. It was the best solution ever but I neglected to retreat after six weeks and it was very noticeable. This year I shall sign up for the redelivery scheme for a slug free season.
Elizabeth Barley (verified owner) –
Very happy with my purchase of Nemaslug. A question I had was answered very quickly, which was appreciated. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Green Gardener.
Janice Manning (verified owner) –
Excellent products Dispatched quickly Have been buying nemaslug for a few years now and keeps the slugs away from my Hostas – really recommend this product.
Alison Bunkum (verified owner) –
I pre-ordered Nemaslugs and queried the fact that I hadn’t had a confirmation email. Within a very short time Green Gardener replied and pointed out that I may need to check my junk email box – there it was, my fault entirely. The product arrived a couple of days after it was dispatched. Very good service.
Christine Jones (verified owner) –
Excellent, have been buying Nemaslug Slug Killer for quite a few years now. Used early in Spring this product works well and my Hostas look good throughout the summer.
Peter Woolston (verified owner) –
I bought nematodes to try and save my Hostas from being eaten to bits. Quick delivery and I used them to water all my pots and areas of the garden that they enjoy. It seems to helped and my beer traps have got the rest. Will certainly be back next year for some more.
Simon Jennings –
We were plagued by slugs, yo the point that nothing would grow in our garden- even ‘slug resistant plants’. We picked over a thousand slugs in a week, how many thousand did we miss?
Applied the nematodes and within 2 days we could see the slugs slow down…now, 4 days in there are only solitary slugs. And the plants are growing- Amazing

Definitely the greenest company! Huge range of products and i have been using them for years. The Nemaslug is a brilliant solution and i like the idea of importing ladybirds to the garden.
Simon Retallick (verified owner) –
I have bought Nemaslug a few times for my orchid collection and a raised bed in the garden. I have also used the one for sciarid fly when I had masses of house plants at one time. Both products have produced excellent results under my conditions. Great to know I am not polluting the environment in the process of protecting valuable and vulnerable plant species.
S T Hampson (verified owner) –
Always very good service. I ordered slug nematodes to be delivered on a specific date and they arrived as expected.
Vanessa Rossi (verified owner) –
Very good experience with Green Gardener over several years since my previous supplier retired. I have bought various nematode treatments which were always delivered promptly on the date requested. The treatments have all been effective, eg in reducing slug damage in key spots or killing vine weevil grubs in pots of plants such as lilies. I also like products such as the garlic smoke for the greenhouse and I recently branched out into buying an experimental box of bee cocoons – yet to hatch so I cannot say more about the bees!
Tina Palmer (verified owner) –
Great product. Did the job. Quick delivery.
Jon (verified owner) –
I have been using green gardener for a number of years. Customer service is excellent, products come quickly. Nemaslug is brilliant! and as a hosta lover has been part of regime for ages. Where would I be without it.
Karen Eyre (verified owner) –
Extremely good, so good that the Nemaslug nematodes are often out of stock! The ladybirds were very good, ordered more and some more lacewings.
Lorna Hunt (verified owner) –
Bought Nemaslug nematodes for the first time, they came well wrapped and appear to be working. It wasn’t that clear when I bought them how short the use by date would be (2-3 weeks) but I should have realised. Well packaged and effective.
