Fighting Ring this Way

No wonder you send people such appalling gardening advice. You simply are
too lazy to read properly. I said that the ground needs to have reached a
temperature of 5C. The GROUND, Puce, The GROUND.
We use these things here. My husband was one of the earliest pioneers of
biological controls in this country. Please do not try to tell me that
URBED in Manchester, as represented by its office clerk knows more than he
does. I will not be able to believe a word you say - situation normal.
Please do tell us when I have threatened to assault you either verbally or
physically? Firstly, it would be impossible to assault you verbally, given
the filth that pours from your own mouth and secondly, I wouldn't soil a
sterilised bargepole by physical proximity to you.
I fear very much that you are responsible for some truly awful things
happening in others' gardens!

The nematodes will only survive above 5C. The time for application is when
you can guarantee that below 5C is not likely at nights or daytime.
Applications every 6 weeks (not 3) is the recommended dosage by the
reputable manufacturers. Slugs only have a few months when they are not
active and unfortunately they have plenty of time to build up a significant
population when the nematodes are inactive (i.e. dead).
Your hopes of fewer slugs next year are wishful thinking.
I should add that the use of nematodes in a closed environment (greenhouse)
is a different scenario.
