Slug Killer Organic
Slugs are one of the most destructive pests in British gardens. Damage is widespread across many plant species. Slugs will eat about twice their own body weight each day. An average slug weighing 0.1oz will consume a staggering 1.75lbs of plant material in a season! Slug makes ragged holes in leaves, flowers and stems and leave noticeable slime trails. They are particularly fond of succulent seedlings, which when left unprotected, can be totally destroyed in a single night. They will attack the leafy parts of salads, fruits, vegetables and ornamentals often boring holes into crops such as potato and strawberry. Many slugs live underground and this is where we target the biological control.
Just Slug Killer
Just Slug Killer contains microscopic worms (nematode species Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita).
Nematodes occur naturally and are tiny microscopic worms supplied as a live product in small
sealed container which will fit through most letter boxes. These tiny parasitic worms seek out slugs and kill them.
This happens when the slugs are underground, mainly during the day. The nematodes are diluted and watered into the soil
using a watering can, where they seek out and enter the slugs. A bacterium is released, which stops the slugs feeding and kills
them within 3 days. The nematodes use the slug to reproduce in, eventually releasing many more nematodes to find more slugs to kill.

Continues to work in wet weather and is active from 5ºC. Provides control for up to six weeks; for continued protection re-apply after this time.
