Question nemaslug

has anyone on here heard of this or maybe used it as apparently its completely safe to use and wont harm humans or torts as it doesn't contain any poison only nematodes that only attack slugs and snails

I was talking to the guy selling nemaslug at this years RHS at Tatton park. He told me it is a completely natural product and is suitable for organic systems.

The nematodes are naturally found in the soil but in much smaller numbers. By adding nemaslug you are simply increasing their numbers which makes the control of slugs and snails much more effective. They basically eat the slimy critters inside out

I am using it next year all over the garden including the tort pens as once again nothing has survived been completely distroyed by the zillions of snails and slugs I have in my garden

I absolutely loath them, they've destroyed my pepper plants, my carrots hostas etc etc and now my Hibiscus are starting to look like they've been visited by these revolting things. Sandy, you can have mine anytime!
