It will be absorbed into the ground much more readily if the soil is moist, so water first or wait for a damp day. Evaporation can also effect the application, so it is best to avoid very bright or windy conditions. If you do apply though foliage then wash the treatment from the foliage to the soil with extra applications of water. Nemaslug is harmless to other wildlife, pets, birds and children. Its only harmful to slugs, snails and water snails. Nemaslug uses the nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita.

As temperatures rise, slugs and snails emerge from hibernation where the ability to super-cool their bodies has protected them from freezing. Meanwhile, generations of eggs laid in the autumn are busy hatching throughout April and May. All of these animals emerge with raging appetites and, as the spring garden serves up a banquet of soft and succulent food, who can blame them for gorging at the feast? Avoid application in direct sunlight; nematodes are uv-sensitive, so apply on a dull day or in the evening For at bekæmpe unge snegle, som graver sig ned i jorden for at overvintre, er nematoderne mest effektive, hvis man vander dem ud i foråret og den tidlige sommer. Men hvis du ønsker du at bekæmpe fuldvoksne snegle, er det bedre at bruge en form for sneglemiddel eller sneglefælde.Nemaslug is effective at controlling both slugs and snails, however it is most effective at controlling the slugs that live in the soil, making Nemaslug a fabulous option to use in areas where potatoes or other root crops are grown.
