Default Nematode control of slugs

Has anyone had any experience of using nematodes as an organic biological
way to control slugs and snails in the garden or allotment?

Yes, we have used them for the past few years on our potatoes and they seem
to work well. Unfortunately we have not done a control to compare. With the
amount of rain we get and the previous amount of slug damage noted on our
plots, however, there is no doubt in our minds that the nematodes do the
business.
