Parasitic nematodes offer rapid control of slugs

• Efficient biological control of soil-dwelling slugs - with Phasmarhabditis californica beneficial nematodes
• Rapid control - when used curatively in moist soil
• Controls various spp - Arion spp, Grey field slug (Deroceras reticulatum) Brown field slug (Deroceras panormitanum) Greenhouse slug (Lehmannia valentiana)
• Can also controls small snails – living in the substrate
• Low temperature tolerant - effective in soil temperatures of 5°C to 30°C
• Easy to use - safe for humans, animals and environment and no pest resistance issues

How NemaFence^® Phasma works

• Infectious juvenile nematodes penetrate host through natural openings
• Once in body cavity, releases symbiotic bacteria to quickly killed host
• Infected slugs stop feeding within 3 to 5 days
• Nematodes multiply in the slug
  Eventually the slug dies due to toxic compounds produced by the symbiotic bacteria
• New infectious nematodes released to search for more soil-dwelling slugs
