If you can bear to share a can of beer with them it’ll make the most effective trap every. Pour a container partly full of beer and leave in your garden. It won’t hurt birds and the slugs will climb in, get drunk and drown!
The Little Book of Slugs, by A. Shepherd and S. Galant £5.00
Slugs, no other garden pest engenders such loathing… ugly, slimy and secretive! The only things worse than slugs are slug pellets. So what’s the thinking gardener to do? Wales’ Centre for Alternative Technology has over 20 years experience of organic slug control techniques and this ‘Little Book’ introduces 70 ways to getting a stress-free, slug-free garden. 119 black and white pages.
SlugX, Single Trap £9.65
Voted best trap in a Daily Telegraph trial, SlugX is an effective, design that will last for years. We were amazed to see just how many slugs crammed themselves into this simple trap. All you need to do is keep it topped up with beer and hoards of slugs will beat a path to its cunning trap door…
‘Slug Gone’ Pure Wool Pellets, 3.5 litre Pack £10.25
This 100% pure wool, crushed and bonded into easy to handle pellets, has many uses in the garden. You can use them as a soil conditioner (they break down slowly releasing nutrients) or as a mulch (they hold twice their own weight in water). We are offering them as pest control, because slugs hate crossing them. Simply sprinkle a generous mat of pellets around the stem of a plant, water well, and the wool will swell up, bind together and make a barrier that irritates and aggravates the slug’s foot.
Slug Banned, 5 off 430mm x 50mm Bands £10.75
Ah, pure copper metal: natural, beautiful, non-toxic, completly recyclable, child-safe and totally tasteless – unless you’re a slug that is! Slugs and snails famously can’t stand moving over copper, so this copper strip can be used to encirle your favourite plants with a slug resisting barrier. Slug Banned comes in two forms: 28mm wide self-adhesive tape with a thin copper facing and 50mm wide heavy-duty solid copper strips. The 50mm strips come in two lengths: 430mm to surround a 100mm (4″) pot and 600mm to surround a 175mm (7″) pot, although multiple strips can clip together to surround pots of any size if needed.
