Product Information

They tend to be nocturnal, though they like humid and damp conditions, so warm, wet weather can increase their active hours. Their price (around 1 to 2 dollars/pounds/euros each) is affordable, considering that they can be used again and again for many years. To use, simply push the ring a few centimetres into the soil around the base of your plant. The angled lip on the collar effectively keeps slugs and snails from getting too close, without harming them in any way. This makes it a humane and eco-friendly solution for protecting your plants.

They like a wide variety of plants, particularly hostas, tulips, dahlias, gerberas, sweet peas, and delphiunims. The RHS study also found other natural slug deterrents like bark mulch, eggshells, sharp grit or wool pellets, to be ineffective in their study, with zero reduction in slug damage. This is best done on a damp night after heavy rain as then the slugs will be everywhere, happy hunting! Slug Traps liters) plastic bottles are a good fit for larger plants, while 16oz (~1 liter) bottles are enough for small plants. If the bottle has a lid that you want to use, you can drill or pierce small air holes in it, so that fresh air can reach the plants.Slugs have been found to be repelled by copper in some studies. However, an RHS study found that copper-based barriers, for example copper tape, was ineffective. For this study, the RHS created a realistic garden scenario, rather than lab-controlled conditions. Large transparent cups (volume 12oz / 0,5 liter) are well suited for young plants in their early stages. One downside to this apart from all the slug carcases you will be getting rid of is that the beer is so potent that it can apparently attract slugs up to 200 meters away and therefore bring even more slugs into your garden than were there before! These two agents are versatile in their use against snails and can easily be connected with other ideas.

It is best if one can paint Schnexagon under a small overhang because the paint will be better protected against wind and weathering, and will, therefore, last longer. With the glass bottles, it is a little more difficult to remove the bottom. This can be done either with a glass cutter or a cotton thread that is ignited. See here: Slugs can also come into the house, especially porch areas. They like damp, cool and dark conditions. For example, bottles or cups can be redesigned in a few simple steps to protect vulnerable plants from slugs and snails.The self-made slug collars, plant hats and garden bells can have extra protection with Schnexagon or copper tape. It’s best to use old transparent storage containers. Again, the bottom of the vessels is carefully removed, and this allows you to slip them over the garden plants. Firstly the little blue pellets aren’t safe to have around if you have pets or young children who might digest them accidentally. The manual method, and as is often the case with the manual method, this is very effective but time-consuming. The original slug fence is effective because it has a special double-folded edge that irritates the slugs, preventing their passage.
