All gardeners have experienced the disappointment of finding their fruit, vegetables or flowering plants devoured by bugs. There are plenty of solutions on the market, but many are toxic and harmful to both people and other wildlife – so you should always choose an organic option, such as nematodes (roundworms) that naturally do away with common pests.
Nemaslug and Nemasys are a range of chemical-free pesticides for the garden.
Nemaslug, as its name suggests, is a slug-killer that is natural, environmentally friendly and safe for pets and children. It contains the nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita, a parasite that attacks all common species of small to medium-sized slugs.
The Nemasys range covers different products for the specific control of vine weevil, leatherjacket (the larvae of crane-fly), chafer grub (beetle larvae) and ants. Each contains nematodes that favour the species in question and which kill them naturally and biologically, without the need for toxic chemicals.
As well as the above, Nematodes Direct also sells nematode-based applications for aphids, whitefly, red spider mite, mealy bugs, scale insects and a myriad of pests that cause a problem for fruit and veg, such as sciarid flies and caterpillars.
