Reviews
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!

Get to know us.
Our journey began in Laurence’s garden in Leeds, UK. After repeated slug attacks left his garden devastated, Laurence discovered a surprising gap: there were no barriers that were highly effective for pots and planters. This sparked an idea—to create a slug barrier that would make gardeners’ lives easier.
From those early days in a Leeds garage and garden—collecting slugs and testing barriers—we have grown into a dedicated team committed to providing the best solutions for gardeners. We’ve developed effective new products, refined existing designs, and conducted in-depth research into what truly works as slug and snail barriers. Most importantly, we’ve shared this knowledge freely through our blog, social media, and downloadable guides.
Our mission began with a goal: to create an effective barrier against slugs and snails for gardeners. We’ve since gone beyond this and don’t plan on stopping. we want more solutions that are more effective than traditional copper barriers and safer for the environment than harmful slug pellets, which indiscriminately kill slugs and disrupt the food chain. Our collaborative efforts have led to innovative products that protect your garden while safeguarding the surrounding ecosystem.
We’re here to help you care for the garden you love—sustainably and effectively.
