Our Slug & Snail Killer Bundle includes nematodes for the effective biological control of Slugs and organic pellets for the effective control of Slugs & Snails. Both products can be applied effectively and safely in conjunction with another.
The bundle provides a perfect natural solution to combined Slug and Snail infestations and will help you to combat larger, or multiple, areas of infestations.
The Slug & Snail Killer Bundle includes:
Slugs & Snails can be highly damaging pests and are particularly fond of succulent seedlings, which if left unprotected, can be completely destroyed in a single night.
As well as attacking the leafy parts of plants, Slugs & Snails will also feast on fruit and vegetable crop. They will chew holes in ripening Strawberries and Tomatoes, and also eat Potatoes, which are of course grown underground, so you may be unaware that such crop is even being attacked.
If your seeds do not appear to have germinated, it is possible that Slugs or Snails have devoured the emerging seedlings underground. Other indices of recent activity may be made apparent by slime trails, or irregular holes with smooth edges found on leaves.
Dragonfli Slug Killer Nematodes are a biological molluscicide containing invective juveniles of Phasmarhabditis sp.. The Phasmarhabditis sp. are minute worm-like nematodes that are approximately 0.3 - 0.5mm long and transparent in appearance. They occur naturally in soils in areas prone with molluscs and are very active when observed under microscope.
The nematodes, when applied, will enter the slugs via a natural opening, like the mouth, and feed on the contents of the slug. A natural bacterium is produced by the nematodes inside the slug, which kills it. Infected slugs will be completely broken down by the nematodes. The nematodes also reproduce inside the larvae, releasing more nematodes into the surrounding area.
Slug Killer Nematodes should be applied as soon as Slugs have been identified in the soil. The best application times are from Spring to Autumn.
We sell Slug Killer Nematode packs to treat areas of either 40m2 or 100m2.
Each application of nematodes will provide at least six weeks control of slugs.
Choose a humid or wet day to apply your Slug Killer Nematodes. Nematodes are UV-sensitive and will not survive long when exposed to bright, sunny conditions. Apply the nematodes early in the morning or early in the evening in order to utilise the optimum humidity levels. Avoid application in frosty conditions.
Soil temperatures should be above 5℃ for the nematodes to be active, if applying in the spring.
Slug nematodes have a short shelf life compared to other species, apply as soon as possible after receipt.
Slug Killer Nematodes are harmless to humans, pets and wildlife, and safe to apply to edible plants
1. Do you only have a few plants or a few m2 garden to treat?
Then add the Slug Killer Nematodes to the amount of water that you normally give to the plants.
2. Want to use a nematode garden sprayer?
Set the sprayer on mist mode and use a nozzle with holes at least 0.5 mm in size. Make sure the pressure does not exceed 5 bar
Phasmarhabditis sp. is a 100% natural and organic product. The product is registered and can be safely used in the UK. Phasma is not harmful to humans, pets, plants, earthworms, bees or birds.
Spot On is a certified, environmentally friendly pellet for killing Slugs and Snails that is approved for organic growing. The natural active ingredient, ferric phosphate, is safe for use around wildlife and the environment. Once the Slugs and Snails feed on the Spot On pellets, they crawl away to die.
The pellets are rain resistant, and even made more appealing to the Slugs & Snails after swelling up in rainfall.
Spot On is safe to use around edible and non-edible plants. It is ideal for for use outside on bare ground and around plants. It can be used in enclosed environments if applied in greenhouses, polytunnels, or other garden structures such as cages and cloches, for example.
Spot On pellets are effective against surface feeding slugs and snails. In order to prevent Slugs from feeding underground, on your potatoes for instance, try using our Slug Killer Nematodes.
Spot On can be used all year round, simply apply when Slug or Snail infestations are evident.
Sprinkle the pellets evenly on the area you wish to treat at approximately 5g per square metre. One bottle of 600g treats up to 120 square metres. Aplications are best made in the evening when slugs start feeding and in damp conditions, after rain.
The ferric phosphate formula is a natural active ingredient, wildlife friendly and safe for the environment. It has been certified and approved by the Organic Farmers and Growers (OF&G), amongst others. It consists of pelleted bait containing 8.1g/kg ferric phosphate.
Please note that, although wildlife friendly and much safer than traditional pesticide based slug pellets, the product label will warn against permitting pets to consume large quantities of the pellets. Please therefore ensure your pets do not consume large amounts of the pellets and apply according to the label instructions.
