Dear Pete,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
The carrier material used to hold the nematodes can vary between batches and, on occasion, it may contain a higher proportion of clay. This does not affect the viability of the nematodes themselves, but if not mixed thoroughly it can lead to clumping and may sometimes cause blockages in a watering can rose or applicator.
All batches are quality tested to ensure they are performing as expected before being packaged, which gives us confidence that the batch will be fine.
Where the carrier is thicker than usual, we recommend using a whisk to stir the mixture vigorously after adding it to water, this will generally break down the majority of clumps (it won’t harm the microscopic nematodes) - please see this video showing the process: https://youtu.be/zS50ii1b-2Q.
This helps break up any clumps and disperse the carrier more effectively. You can also break down any larger clumps with your fingers. It is not uncommon to have some small clumps within the solution, as these can simply be areas where the nematode powder is more concentrated and therefore harder to break up.
The nematodes will still work as required, even if a few small lumps are applied directly onto the soil. Once watered in, these should continue to break down over time while still providing that protective barrier.
Kind regards
Samantha
Great first time buyer experience.
Great first time buyer experience.
I ordered slug nematodes on back order, they were posted as per website information and arrived day after.
The product labelling and information on the website are straight forward.
I had an extra enquiry to ask, and the response from the support team (received on the same day) was very descriptive and helpful. Thank you.

Dear Douglas,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
I have checked your order history and can see you placed an order on Monday 9th March.
We posted your order on Wednesday 11th March by Royal Mail Tracked 24.
You emailed on Wednesday 11th March and I replied on Wednesday 11th March apologising for the days delay in posting this out to you.
I am sorry Royal Mail hasn't delivered on Thursday 12th and are expecting to deliver on Friday 13th, that unfortunately is a delay out of our hands.
We do advise on our website we expect to dispatch within 1 working day, so I can only apologise for the one days delay.
Kind regards
Samantha

This was the last ditch attempt to rid my cottage of these troublesome tiny flies, and it worked!
Arrived as promised well packaged, clear instructions, however did stuggle with the dosage as product required was for small house plants, but I seemed to have gotten around that with some
thought. Yes happy with my purchase and would recommend to others. Next I will try the slug nematodes thank you.

Been using this company for years
Been using this company for years. I use the slug nematodes and they make such a huge difference. I tend to use them spring and summer using three applications and that protects my young seedlings and vegetable crops. I love the fact they’re safe for wildlife. That’s why I let the slugs do their thing for the rest of the year. The plants then are resilient enough for the odd slug nibble. The frogs love a slug banquet. Great service, company send them at the correct times for easy application.

Dear Jan,
Thank you for leaving us a review, its very much appreciated.
I've double checked your order, re your comment about the delivery time and I note you ordered in between Christmas and New Year, whilst we were closed. We did have on the website at the time we would be reopening w/c 5th January.
Ordinarily we aim to ship the next working day.

indoor plague somewhat controlled
Easy to use website, no problems with ordering or delivery. Clear instructions, easy to use, definitely a useful tool in the control of fungus gnats indoors, although not a stand-alone 100% cure. Not suitable for outdoor use in January, so I didn't try it. although it's clear to me that the origin of the "plague" is compost stored outdoors.
