Slimy Trails These gastropods are a common feature among British gardens, research suggesting around 200 slugs can be found per cubic metre. Both love wet conditions and so are often more active after rainfall and can be found hiding under planters and pots where soil and gravel may be damp. Snails tend to hibernate throughout winter so are less active in this season but slugs continue their habits in temperatures as low as 5 degrees, munching on veggies almost year-round. As nocturnal creatures that shy away from the sun, you’re more likely to spot them at night-time. A sure sign of either in your garden are their silvery trails and nibbled leaves. They don’t discriminate and consume young and decaying growth alike across vegetables, seedlings, and ornamental plants. Some slugs carry lungworm, which is a severe problem for dogs. Plant defence It’s recommended that a slug or snail will need to be moved at least 20 metres away from your garden to force them to become disorientated and lose their way back as their homing instincts cover short distances only. They can stretch up to 20 times their size to fit through small gaps so barriers must be continuous. Raking over soil and removing fallen leaves can expose slug eggs to birds for them to eat. Growing plants with hairy stems or strong-smelling scents, such as lavender or rosemary, which are unappealing will deter them. Heading out into the garden at night with a torch to manually remove these gastropods can be effective but highly time-consuming. Defenders have a range of products for easier management. Slugs Away The range of Slugs Away products from Defenders covers every angle of slug and snail protection. Every product is organic and biodegradable, suitable for use in areas frequented by pets or children. Use the Wool Mat with added growth benefits, such as weed suppressor, soil insulator and frost protector. Easy to apply, the mats come in two sizes and can be cut to size. The Plant Protection Guard creates a sturdy lip that can’t be traversed and the Barrier Tape and copper Band creates an uncomfortable barrier for slugs and snails to travel over. Review: It's made from natural Wool and doesn't use any chemicals - A great product, which is easy to apply. It is at a high price point, however it lasts and is ideal for those using the no-dig method, as once the pellets are wet they spread to form a wool layer on the top of the soil which discourages the snails and slugs. We had been over run by snails in our small raised beds and have used this product over the last 3 years to help combat it, alongside visual checks and removal of the little offenders, it has helped greatly reduce damage caused by slugs and snails. It isn't an 'instant fix' and you need to be aware that snails will climb and reach over for plants too from walls etc; they will do what they can to avoid the wool layer too. If you plan your planting and use a good deep band of the pellets it works very well. Yes, the product does have an initial odour, but this is short lived - wool does smell and this is to be expected. I recommend this product, as it's been tried an tested here and works really well and as an added bonus it also helps keep the moisture in too, so reduces the amount of watering needed for the plants as well. Review: Seems to keep slugs away -- BUT .... - Does appear to have kept slugs off my hostas, but OH boy does it stink, keeps humans away as well for a while, but the smell has abated after a week or two. Apart from the smell a good natural solution to slugs. ## Features - NOURISH AND PROTECT: All-Natural Wool Pellets create a protective mulch around growing plants, deterring slugs and snails without the use of chemical controls - 100% BIODEGRADABLE: Suitable for organic gardening, with natural slow release of plant nutrients from biodegradable protein fibres - SAFE FOR CHILDREN & PETS: Suitable for use around children and pets: contains no harmful chemicals or poisons - VERSATILE: Create a slug-free-zone in any area vulnerable to slug attack to protect fruit, flowers, and vegetables - CONSERVE SOIL MOISTURE and supress weed growth by creating a protective mulch for the whole growing season - STAY-FRESH: Sealed 1L packs stay fresh for the season.
