- How To Apply Nemaslug Slug Killer:
- Apply Nemaslug to moist soil.
- The soil temperature should be 5ºC (40ºF) or over (this is also when plants start to grow). Nematodes are capable of surviving the odd frost; so don't worry if the temperature falls after you have applied Nemaslug. Metaldehyde based slug pellets are reported not to be effective below 7ºC.
- Use entire packet at one time and do not store part used packs or made up solution.
- Nematodes are easy to apply simply as a drench. All you need is a watering can with a coarse rose or a recommended hose end feeder. A standard pack takes approximately 20 minutes to apply.
- Once mixed with water, apply immediately, making sure they are applied to the soil. Wash any nematodes off the leaves using more water.
- Make your soil does not dry out after applying nematodes.
Watering can method.
- Open, take a portion of the pack and put in a watering can.
- Add water and stir.
- Water on soil/lawn and then water in with hose/watering can.
Storing your nematodes:
- Keep the sealed pack in the fridge so they remain inactive, ensuring their good health until you need them.
- Nematodes will keep up to the expiry date, clearly marked on each sealed pack, when kept refrigerated.
- They are perishable so you should not open the pack before you intend to use it.
It is always best to use living products as soon as possible after receipt.
