We've used them in the greenhouse but would find them prohibitively expensive for the open ground.

And I have no idea if they worked or not!

That is true too we still had slugs :-)

LOL. I don't think that you two are a very good advert for them. Mr & Mrs MB!!!

Well the snag is I ordered them and they came when we were away for a few days - at a time when it was hot (no not this year) and sat on our kitchen table when they 'should' have been in the fridge. I'd probably give them another go in the greenhouse.

Oh... I'd heard that they need to be 'fresh' and preferably still alive, poor things!
24 Aug, 2010
Definitely still alive Spritzh.

I don't know - fancy trying to 'cook' them! ;-))
Watch out - there may be a 'Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Nematodes' and a lurking Inspector, MG!

Damn! I was trying to avoid them - lol

Oh yes, indeed - but they're very expensive if you have more than a small area to cover.
