Read More Nick25 January 2025 I recently tried StopSugs new product, the slug stand, and it’s genuinely brilliant. It forms a simple water moat around your plant pot, keeping slugs out and your plants safe. Setup couldn’t be easier—just fill with water... The plastic build is tough, lightweight, and ideal for everyday gardening, especially if you like rearranging your pots often. While I’d love to see other materials in the future to match my terracotta, this design is impressively practical and effective. This proof of concept enables the best growing Hostas of the season by a long way, as shown in the photos of my poor Hostas who were not given such a slug stand! Best of all, Laurence is open to ideas and already planning new products for next season. If you’re tired of slugs wrecking your plants, give this stand a try. 10/10 David Haigh24 January 2025 Very please with my slugstand which i bought last summer, it's stopped the attacks on my Rose, and think it looks nice with my planter. 10/10 Ben Marion10 December 2024 Stopslugs worked exactly as intended!

Is copper an effective slug repellent?
Copper can help repel slugs, but we recommend using it only as part of a combined approach with other methods.
Are organic slug pellets safe for wildlife and pets?
In our opinion, organic iron-based pellets are best avoided because they harm beneficial worms and kill many slugs and snails that don’t actually damage your plants. Additionally, if consumed in large amounts, these pellets can be harmful to your pets.
What is the most effective way to deterr slugs from eating my plants?
We recommend creating a slug-free zone by using at least one “primary barrier” (a highly effective one) alongside several other methods outlined in our free PDF guide.
What are the most effective slug barriers?
The most effective slug barriers for container plants are a Slugstand or an electric fence, while for plants in the ground, overhanging barriers like a slug fence or collar work best.
