Slug Traps and Barriers - the slug has been at the top of the RHS list of Garden Pests for the last two years, cementing it's reputation as the most hated garden pest- and whatever you grow, be it flowers, fruit or vegetables, you'll have no doubt experienced at first hand the damage these slimy plant-munching molluscs can cause. Given the slug's widespread unpopularity, it's hardly a suprise that we've undercovered and tested a comprehensive range of products to enable you to choose the best method to reduce your garden slug count - from traps, capable of catching in excess of a hundred slugs per night; decorative copper rings; special slug tape; shocka mats; gel and granules to the innovative slug barrier system, there should be something here to keep those numbers down.
And there's one important thing to remember; all the various products designed to catch, kill or prevent slugs from destroying your garden are all organic. There's absolutely no threat to children or pets, birds and hedgehogs which feed on the slugs will not be harmed and no nasty chemicals will be introduced to the food chain.
Combine a technique from the Middle Ages and 21st century technology by introducing a Slug Moat around your plants as part of the garden battle against these fearsome pests; the 100% recycled plastic moats are simply placed around your plants, turning them into a fortress and either drowning or repelling the slimy invaders depending on your choice of bait.
Natural Slug & Snail Deterrent Granules are about to enter the struggle between gardeners and slugs which has been going on for years and the slimy, plant-munching pests show no sign of hoisting the white flag anytime soon - therefore, a rain resistant, 100% recycled ceramic deterrent in granular form which dries the mucus of slugs and snails as they try to cross sounds like just the kind of weapon you need down the vegetable patch or allotment - not to mention the ornamental garden.
The jagged edges of the gNatural Slug & Snail Deterrent Granules - which blend in seamlessly with gravel - make crossing them the slug and snail equivalent of walking on hot coals and as they're available in 2.5kg or 10kg bags, you can stock up for a prolonged defence. Suitable for use in and around pots, individual plants or beds and borders, the Natural Slug & Snail Deterrent Granules are also ideal for filling the Slug Moats we supply and can be incorporated into the soil after use.

And it's not just those of us who don't relish touching these creatures who will benefit; anyone with a bad back will appreciate being able to pick off slugs and snails from plants without bending, thanks to the 90cm/3ft long, unique, anti-corrosive aluminium claw arms.

There's no hiding place for slugs!
Slug and Snail Copper Tape will protect your pots, planters, greenhouse staging and raised beds from marauding slugs and snails - it's the go-anywhere alternative to slug rings and slug traps. Supplied in a 4m roll - plenty to kit out all your garden beds and pots for a full season. The sticky-backed slug copper tape, which features a serrated edge, gives both slugs and snails serious problems as they try to cross - a toxic reaction occurs between the metal and the mucus slugs and snails produce to move, giving any attempted raiders an unpleasant electric shock sensation and sending them slithering back to munch on less well-protected plants!
Unfortunately the Slug and Snail Copper Tape is temporarily unavailable but we hope to have the product back in stock very shortly
If you've been frustrated by constant slug and snail raids or your home grown vegetables or treasured ornamental plants, you may have gone as far to consider an electric fence to keep out these plant-devouring molluscs; and in truth, the Slug and Snail Shocka Rolls aren't far off that idea! Although slug rings, traps and copper tape are perfectly adept at keeping slugs out of beds, pots and away from individual plants, gardeners have always found it difficult to keep larger areas slug and snail free but the 0.3m x 4m and 0.9cm x 5m Shocka rolls do just that.
The upper surface of the fabric is coated in a resin containing copper hydroxide, which gives any mucus-based mollusc attempting to cross an unpleasant tingling sensation - and not only do the Slug and Snail Shocka Rolls keep your plants safe, but they act as a well insulated, weed resisting, water permeable mulch which can be easily trimmed to size and cut to plant through. Slug and Snail Shocka Rolls are used commercially so take a leaf out of the big boys' book and invest in some heavy-duty slug prevention today!
