How SlugLess Works

SlugLess® is made from 100% Organic British Straw* which has had no fertiliser or chemicals applied. Straw is a sustainable by-product of agriculture & is completely carbon neutral, re growing annually reabsorbing carbon released from the bio-degrading of the previous year’s crop. (*Organic Farmers and Growers approved)

Our unique production process creates a clean, easy to use pellet which expands (when wet) to create a dry, prickly surface which irritates and desiccates slugs & snails that try to cross it. Its small sharp fibres will also cling to the slugs body making movement difficult. Slugs & Snails quickly learn to avoid areas covered by SlugLess.

Simply water the plant then apply SlugLess pellets one layer thick in a wide radius around plant (at least 8 inches out from the plant leaves).

Wet the pellets (or let the rain do it for you).

SlugLess pellets will expand up to 4 times their initial volume & can be raked to cover any gaps that have not been covered.

SlugLess will eventually create a dry, protective crust which will retains moisture & reduce the need for watering & weeding. Less watering also maintains a dry environment around plants which further deters slugs.

It is pH neutral & will bio-degrade over the season slowly releasing organic nutrients & humus back into the soil.

SlugLess offers a safe, clean & easy way to deter slugs & snails. It is kind to the environment & wildlife.

SlugLess creates a highly decorative beige colour layer over the soil (which will darken over time). The beige colour also makes slugs more visible to  predators and will reduce moisture from the soil.

Unlike competing wool pellets it has a clean, pleasant, earthy odour and will not attractive dogs and other animals wishing to mask there scent.

SlugLess comes in a clean convenient pellet form, packaged in eco-friendly  20L paper bags. It can be stored indefinitely in the dry.
