Copper Slug Tape - Use our best selling Copper Slug Tape to protect your pots and containers from slugs.  Slugs hate copper, because of a reaction between their mucus and the copper, so by applying this self adhesive copper tape to your pots / containers it forms a barrier slugs will not cross. If your main problem is slugs then use this Copper Slug Tape, but if your main problem is snails or a combination of the two use our serrated Copper Snail Tape (see below).

 
Copper Slug Tape - The simple and effective way to protect plants in containers from slugs. This self adhesive copper tape can be wrapped around the rim or base of the pot creating a physical barrier that the slugs will not cross. Slugs that crawl up the outside of the pot are repelled and will crawl  away. Each roll of slug tape is 4m / 13ft in length which will go round 4-5 30cm/12" pots.

"Copper tape- it works! It really does! Terrific stuff - nothing has gone from my pots" J.B. from Middlesex.

"Many thanks for such a speedy reply to my question regarding the copper snail/slug tape. I have just placed an order for another roll - so far (fingers firmly crossed!) it is making a real difference. In previous years, my poor Hosta's have all ended up looking like a 'lace' pattern with more holes than hosta!  It is certainly a very good invention and I am passing the tip and your website on to anyone else I know who is suffering from this problem. I am off down to Cornwall soon, so feeling abit happier about leaving my garden and, especially, my pots with the tape in place!" With kindest regards, Ellen by email

"We are so pleased with your tape. We daren't put anything outside, especially with all the rain we've had. We tried it last year for the first time and it really did work." Thanks again, Brenda Lincoln.

Copper Slug and Snail Rings - These solid copper rings will last for many years and are simply placed around the plant where they form a barrier which slugs and snails will not cross. Slugs and snails hate copper because of reaction between their mucus and the copper. When the slugs and snails come into contact with the ring they are repelled and will crawl away. They are easy to use as a spring clip allows you to open the ring, so you can slip the ring around the stem and then press lightly into the soil. If you have larger plants, just link then together to make a larger ring.You can leave slug rings in place all winter and they will be ready to protect the first tender shoots in the spring. After a few weeks, the copper slug rings take on a brown patina to blend into your garden. They are equally effective whether shiny and new, with a brown patina or even ancient green.

Copper Rings Standard - Pack of 6 rings approx 10cm/4" in diameter
Copper Rings Large - Pack of 6 large rings approx 18cm/7" in diameter

"First time in 30 years of gardening that a delphinium has grown above ground level" Mrs P from Glamorgan."My rings arrived yesterday and they are working perfectly - thank you VERY much. My prized Hymenocallis Festalis is safe at last!" Satisfied customer Moi Watson. "Used with great success on my runner beans" from Mr H. from Knutsford

Copper Slug Bands - These Copper Slug Bands have all the advantages of copper rings, but as they are made from much thinner copper, it means these bands can be easily clipped together to make much larger rings and they are much more flexible, so they can be bent into various shapes - ideal for awkward situations. These Copper Slug Bands will never wear out and will last for years. They are safe to you, your children, pets and wildlife.

Standard Bands make rings 4"/10cm in diameter and the Large Bands make rings 7"/17cm diameter, but they may be clipped together for large plants.

"The Slug Bands I have seem to be working very well indeed!! Hurrah at last a solution!!!" Best regards, Alison

"I just wanted to say thank you for the excellent service from your company. I called up and placed an order on the phone to a very helpful lady last Wednesday morning for copper bands and tape and received it in the post on Friday." Heather by email

Slug Collars / Hosta Halos - Simply screw the ring a few cms into the soil and the angled lip effectively keeps slugs and snails away from your plants. In trials in my garden I also found they protected plants from my over enthusiastic hoeing and mulching as well! Use early in the season for best results. When the foliage grows out over the ring apply Nemaslug® to complete your slug control programme. The Hosta Halos can then be stored and re-used countless times. Dimensions - Height 12cm, diameter at base 13cm and diameter at top 18cm.

Hothouse Covers - This cover fits on top of the hosta halo, turning it into a mini hothouse. The hothouse cover allows sunlight in and then holds back the warmth making it ideal for protecting and encouraging growth in spring and autumn. Once the plants are established simply remove the lid during the hot summer months, leaving the halo in place to protect from slugs and snails. Ventilation holes prevent overheating and allow water in so you do not have to remove the lid to water. The cover also provides protection from pests, heavy rain and hail. Available as packs of 6 Hothouse Covers for customers who already have halos or as packs of 6 & 18 halo's including covers.

"I think I have every slug and snail in Orpington, but your hosta halos really work. For the first time my lettuces are coming along a treat" Mrs S. of Orpington.

"I've just put in my third order for Hosta Halo's, and wanted to drop you a note to say that this is one of the best products I've come across in years! For the first time my husband and I have been able to grow delphiniums, hollyhocks and dahlias in our Cornish garden (slugs and snails LOVE Cornwall!); and our runner and French beans are more successful than ever before. For the record, we're also using the halo's for young lettuces, brassicas - it's going to be a tasty summer! Thanks very much for your great service. All best wishes" L.S. by email

Slug Gone Wool Barrier - These pellets are made from reclaimed wool and old woollen jumpers with no chemicals added, these pellets are 100% natural and are very effective at repelling slugs and snails. Once the pellets have been spread over the surface and watered, the pellets expand and form a mat, which will not blow or wash away. The fibres in the woollen pellets stop the slugs and snails by making it uncomfortable for the slug or snail to crawl across. The pellets ALSO form an effective mulch, which also reduces moisture loss from the soil and supresses weeds. The pellets eventually breaks down to release plant nutrients into the soil.

"...really good, new barrier in the form of pellets made of recycled sheep's wool. When spread around my Rudbeckia occidentalis 'Green Wizard', which was shredded to bits last summer despite my best efforts, it has formed a dense matted layer that the beasts have not yet breached. It seems to be better than granular barriers, which I find scatter about too easily. I am told that, as a bonus, the wool rots down and feeds the soil." Helen Yemm - Telegraph Gardening.
