The natural way to keep your garden looking good
| "The copper tape has been FANTASTIC- I grew lots of salad leaves last year with no lost to slugs or snails. I actually had to thin the seedlings for once! Thank you again." Yours Charlotte. "These are copper rings are brilliant! A clematis I thought I'd lost has grown back from ground level since I put a copper collar round the dead looking stem. Thanks" Sally |
Slug and Snail Barriers and Traps - Slugs and snails don't just attack plants in borders, so we have put together a range of copper tapes, mats, pot feet, rings and bands for protecting pots and containers. We have copper bands/rings, shocka roll and our best selling hosta halos for protecting plants in borders.
Barriers and Traps - We also have a range of slug traps suitable for positioning both in borders or on hard surfaces i.e. for protecting plants on patios.
"I'm absolutely delighted with the results of the snail tape - the tape has been 100% effective. The snails had ravaged all but the top most leaves of one of my bedding plants. I watched the snails head straight for the plants but do an immediate u turn as soon as they touched the tape - amazing!" Best Regards Sangeeta

Shocka Mats - Slugs and snails HATE the copper contained in this versatile mat and will be strongly repelled. They hate copper because of a reaction between their mucus and the copper. For instant protection simply stand your pots in the centre of the mat allowing a 2" overlap. Perfect for all plants in containers from hostas to herbs. 
Shocka Rolls - Simply plant through fabric which will last for several years. Weeds are controlled too! Supplied on two different sized rolls, the matting can easily be cut to shape for containers. Great to use around fruit and vegetables in the garden - particularly salad and strawberries. 
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 Snail Tape - Stop snails getting into your pots with this self adhesive snail tape which is simply applied to the rim of the pot and forms a barrier snails (and slugs) will not cross - use snail tape to repel BOTH snail and slugs. With its serrated edge it forms a formidable barrier that snails (and slugs) will not cross! It's long lasting, looks good and sticks to any clean dry pot. Each roll of snail tape is 5m / 15ft in length which will go round 5 30cm/12" pots. Down in price this year!
Copper-coated Pot Feet - Protect your pots from slugs AND snails by standing them on these copper coated pot feet. Beautifully designed, they are very sturdy and as well as protecting the plants in the pots from slugs and snails, they also improve drainage-very important in the winter and they look good!
Copper Slug and Snail Rings - These solid copper rings 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. 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 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.
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.
Slug Buggers - Made from reclaimed wool and old woollen jumpers with no chemicals added, these pellets are 100% natural and very effective - the fibres in the woollen pellets make it uncomfortable for the slug or snail to crawl across.
Slug X Trap - This simple, but effective slug trap is one of our best sellers. It will last for years and can be moved around the garden to protect different plants. Simply recharge with beer as necessary. 
We know that some of you don't like using beer in traps. This trap comes complete with it's own unique bait. Simply mix the bait (powder) with fruit juice or water and the trap will attract and drown snails and slugs- so no more beer!
