Name

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.
