Nemaslug Now Available in Garden Centres


Leading biological pest control product Nemaslug, is now available to purchase from many leading garden centres, thanks to Nemasys’ recent collaboration with home and garden brand Andermatt.

Previously only available to purchase online, the partnership means gardeners dealing with pesky slug infestations throughout the year can pick up the beneficial nematodes on their routine garden centre trips. With the product being offered to all major garden retailers, Nemaslug will be available to more gardeners than ever before.

Andermatt, known for its leading position in the manufacture of biological control products, will see Nemaslug join its extensive portfolio alongside other well-known sustainable favourites like GroPure®, InsectoNet®, BioFleece® and Mightybugs®.

Nemaslug 2.0 will be available to purchase through Andermatt’s innovative offline to online (O2O) buying method. Customers will pick up a voucher from the garden centre and purchase this to take home. When they require their pack of Nemaslug, the customer can redeem the voucher online using the unique activation code. The nematodes will then be dispatched on the same day and delivered promptly via first-class mail straight to their door!

Matt Martin from Nemasys commented on the partnership: “We are really excited to be joining forces with Andermatt to bring Nemaslug 2.0 to even more gardeners across the UK. Due to the nematodes’ need for refrigeration and their limited shelf life, it has been a challenge to introduce the biological pest control into physical shops. Andermatt’s unique O2O process has now made it possible, making effective, biological slug control available to a lot more people.

“Slugs are the most common problematic pests, and gardeners are always searching for ways to manage and control their populations. With Nemaslug previously being exclusively online, many gardeners are still unaware of its existence and efficacy, so we’re thrilled that the partnership with Andermatt will see Nemaslug be introduced to new and relevant customers across the country and help them tackle slugs in the garden.”

Andrew Brown, Managing Director of Andermatt said: “We are delighted to be working with Nemasys and that they have entrusted the Nemaslug 2.0 brand with us. Our O2O system makes it easier for garden centres to provide biological pest control to customers without worrying about shelf life and stock rotation.

“Slugs continue to be a huge challenge for gardeners and there are not many effective, natural solutions available, and in an era where customers are becoming more conscious of their environment impact, biocontrol products like nematodes are an ideal and eco-friendly solution.

“Nemaslug is a highly effective, proven product and has been for 30 years now, and its strong online customer base proves its efficacy, so of course we wanted to introduce it into garden centres. It also aligns perfectly with Andermatt’s belief in offering natural and sustainable products to gardeners everywhere, and we’re really excited to be part of its next chapter!”

Each pack of Nemaslug 2.0 contains thousands of tiny, microscopic worms, known as beneficial nematodes. These nematodes are applied to the soil and will seek out slugs to kill. It works by entering the pest through its natural openings and releasing bacteria which ultimately will destroy the slug. The nematodes will then multiply once fed and seek more slugs to abolish. When the slug population has dwindled, the nematodes will die off back to the natural levels found in the soil. Nematodes are an effective form of biological pest control, and unlike alternative pest control products, they do not wash away or weaken in the rain and are fine to use around pets and children. Nemaslug nematodes will remain active for up to six weeks under the right conditions, so precious plants stay protected and slug-free.

The introduction of Nemaslug 2.0 into garden centres will continue to roll out throughout the year and into 2025. Nemaslug and other beneficial nematode products are still available to buy online from an array of stockists, including Andermatt.
