PROTECT GARDEN 86601082 Slug & Snail Killer Max, 800G - Powerful Slug Killer Pellets - for Protecting Ornamental Plants and Garden Vegetables - Snail Repellant - Approved for Organic Gardening

'Protect Garden' is life changing! I used to lie awake in the early hours of the morning visualising the slithering gastropods munching their way through my last remaining & ailing cucumber plant (5 attempts! All destroyed!), decimating my young chrysanthemum plants and levelling my sweet peas. I would be compelled to be prowling my garden in my nightie at 1am armed with torch, tongs and the kitchen salt. The slaughter would be wholesale but so was the damage, and morning would reveal slime, monopod corpses and catastrophic devastation to cherished plants. I tried multiple brands of slug pellets (I could hear the enemy sniggering), ramparts, bastions, gloop, garlic water (I like how the French turned the tables on the rampaging molluscs) & rings of defence. Nothing held back the voracious hordes. Then I read the review from the fellow sufferer who said that "up to 90 slugs a night" would be extracted from his plants until he used this product. The next night - just a few and since then.... nothing. Nada. No slugs. No snails. With hope in my heart but cynicism in my head I ordered some - just the one (more money being thrown at the swines) - and duly scattered the small blue pellets. 1am that night - not a slug nor snail to be seen. Morning....no devastation. No damage AT ALL. A week has gone by and not one single gastropod. Not one single corpse either, not one damaged plant, no slime trails, nothing. They packed up their little suitcases and left. I imagine that my neighbour's gardens are now a wasteland but I'm sleeping peacefully now, and I am the one doing the sniggering. Buy it, it works, it really REALLY does. Not even nematodes were this effective. Just ordered two more containers to get ahead of the rush when this amazing product gets discovered. Certified organic, marvellous. I don't know how it works but it does. Its a small miracle but I will take anything that I can get. May even try planting Swiss Chard again next year.

I am not a great one for garden chemicals. I find with aphids, for example, that if you leave them alone tits and ladybirds, especially their larvae, will do a fine job in clearing them, lacewing populations grow and, especially early in the season, wasps kill and eat a fair old number.I must admit though I do control vine weevils and the bright red Lily beetle, and this year has been particularly bad for slugs. Any young plants planted out were eaten down to ground level overnight. The old standby was slug pellets containing metaldehyde, which affected mucus production, resulting in trails of slime and dead slugs around treated areas.The pellets were usually blue to make them less effective to birds, but they still affected other wildlife including animals and birds eating the dead, poisoned slugs, the chemical contaminated water supplies and pets sometimes ate pellets making them ill. So, the chemical was banned for agricultural use in April, 2022.There is a misconception blue pellets were banned, but it is just that particular formulation.These pellets are also blue and contain ferric phosphate which effectively prevents slugs from eating, so they starve to death. It appears to be less effective as there are usually no slugs to be found around the treated areas. This is because it doesn’t kill slugs instantly, they can’t eat so they go off to hide where they die unseen. The real effect can be seen in the lack of damage rather than the lack of slugs.It has the advantage there are no dead slugs to dispose of, but the disadvantage is that the decomposing bodies of the hidden dead slugs could attract more slugs. Slugs might be annoying when they eat seedlings but they do a fine, unheralded job, as scavengers carrying out garden, garbage disposal of organic matter and even carrion.They are also food for amphibians, many birds and hedgehogs so in areas of the garden where they are not a problem, and most plants can afford a few nibbled leaves, it is best to leave them be and limit protection to susceptible crops and young plants where this product seems to work well.The container has a small hole at the top, nothing technical, which allows you to shake out enough pellets with a single shake to protect a small area around a plant without touching the pellets at all.There are enough for at least a couple of seasons or more with my limited slug control on small sections of the garden so for me it is an excellent product at a good price.

I was skeptical about these pellets but have tried everything else and didn't want a repeat of last year where the wee bastards ate all my crop. my crop looked like Swiss cheese. So I bought them as I only grow organic and was surprised how well they worked. I go out after dark to pick the buggers off my veggies and was getting an average of 90 per night. When I put the pellets down the first night I got only 8. After that I got nothing. Couldn't find one slug or snail. Excellent product. I have ordered another 4 tubs!
