Wool Pellets for the Garden Slug Gone Safe and Natural Reviews

4.7 Rating 19 Reviews

The methaldehyde-free formulation is gentle to bees, hedgehogs, pets and the environment. The active ingredient, ferric phosphate, is an iron compound which naturally occurs in nature.
Vitax Slug Gone wool slug pellets are composed of 100% natural materials including phosphorous, nitrogen and potassium. As soon as water is added the fibres swell to form a barrier or insulation blanket. When slugs climb onto the fibres it irritates the foot and causes it to seek easier feeding elsewhere.
Slug Gone wool slug pellets are ideal for organic gardening and can be used in pots, flower beds, borders, allotments, herb gardens, nurseries, garden centres, greenhouses and vegetable plots.
Please Note: Slug Gone Pure Wool Slug Pellets contain no harmful chemicals and are suitable for those with children, pets or for those conscious about protecting wildlife
3.5 Litre protects 16 x 6" Diameter pots or 6 x 10" Diameter pots.
5 litre protects 9 x 10" Diameter pots approx.

“Repeat purchase after last year's success as slug deterrent. Some slug damage but minimal - they left me enough for a plentiful Lettuce harvest!”

“They really work to deter slugs. Last year I used them along rows of carrots which often suffer from slugs eating the tiny plants as soon as they emerge from the ground. The pellets are good at providing a mulch too and then they eventually break down into the soil leaving no trace. I'd rather use a deterrent than kill slugs, I use the pellets every year now.”

“Applied these pellets in a thick layer on top of the pot with the young plant I want to protect. Watered in then monitored over 5 days and it really does work! Big fat slugs which were previously decimating my young plant started by just loitering around on the pot edge and have now just disappeared altogether and the young plant is now growing on beautifully! I can thoroughly recommend and will be using in all my other pots to protect them too. Definitely doing the job so far!”

“Has helped my radishes but not all the bedding plants. I think it has to be placed quite carefully.”

“Helps but doesn't keep the slugs from nibbling on my plants completely.”

“These pellets keep the slugs away from the plants so long as there are no leaves overhanging to give slugs a lift! The plants always seem to have better growth too - probably the water retention and the extra fertilizer (poo) trapped in the pellets.”
