        After spending a small fortune on slug bait and beer, after picking hundreds of slugs off our plants I tried this product. I applied it 6 weeks ago and it worked. Thank you!!

            I was tired of pouring beer into my slug traps, only to find the live slugs underneath the traps. This was amazing and easy. Have not seen one slug all summer.

              This is the third year that I have used this product. There is a very noticeable decrease in the damage from slugs to my hosta shade garden. One application is all it takes!

                It's hard to rate something if you don't know how to use it. There are no instructions as to the application rate except that they tell you it covers 2000 sq ft

                  This was a total waste of money. I bought 3 pkgs to cover a large backyard and I saw no decrease in the slug population at all.

                  Comments about Slug Guard:

                  I had a terrible infestation of snails over the last few years. I was picking off hundreds daily! I took a chance on this product and it really worked. I used it last fall and saw a marked reduction in snails, and then used it again this spring and my garden is virtually snail free. Yeah! My flowers and vegetables are so happy and so am I.
                  You do need to use the product right away since the nematodes are live when delivered, but the directions were easy to follow and within days, the effects were obvious. Thank you!

                    Comments about Slug Guard:

                    We have a bad Slug problem in our yard and we tried Slug Guard last year with one application
                    and GREAT results. We told everyone about the
                    product because it worked so well. This year we
                    ordered again but it didn't help at all. So we thought mabey the nematoids didn't stay cool enough in shipping and died so we ordered another
                    one and still the Slugs keep coming. Mabey we didn't use it early enough in the season ? We might try it again next year and hope it works next time. Mabey we could get a credit for the money spent this year and try it again next season. Thank You, Slugs in SLC

                    Comments about Slug Guard:

                    I believe that there were decidedly fewer slugs after using Slug Gard and this year was much wetter than usual. After several weeks I started adding the Sluggo Plus. The two together are doing the trick. When I pick slugs in the morning, there are very few.

                    The only problem I had was trying to figure out how much to apply from my hose end sprayer (directions were unclear), so I ended up spraying on quite a heavy dose, therefore, it didn't go very far.
