Pest, Weed & Fungal Control

It seems that sometimes despite all your best efforts in the garden, something will come along and try to spoil it!

Pest/Weed and Fungal Control

That “something” can take several shapes and usually comes in the form of bugs and animals, fungal infection and weeds.

Bugs and Animals

We have a big selection of pesticides to combat most bug problems that might be spoiling your flowers, fruit and veg. These range from “ready to use” guns to concentrates for large areas of crops that may need spraying. We have all the market leaders you would expect to find and also offer some alternative methods of pest control, animal deterrents and organic solutions. These include Pest Stop ultrasonic plug-in repellers that cover bugs and mice to deer, and copper tape barrier and slug stop to deter slugs from pots and borders.

Fungicides

We sell a selection of fungicides to combat all the common fungal problems like black spot, mildew and peach leaf curl for your ornamentals, fruit and veg.

Neudorff Nematodes

Biological plant protection

Nematodes are very small roundworms that can be found in almost every ecosystem on earth. Some species of these tiny creatures are predatory and can be utilised in horticulture for the control of many soil bourne pests. Nematodes kill larval pests, thereby stopping the damage they cause to plants and lawns. They first enter the pest larvae and inject it with bacteria, causing death. Nematodes will then eat the dead body, multiply and immediately start searching for a new host. Once their source of food is exhausted the nematodes will themselves die, leaving behind no evidence of them ever being there.
